One of the most motivational keynote presentations ever!
            You will be inspired to reach new heights in your own life.
   Patrick is a remarkable young man who was born without eyes and without the ability to fully straighten his
arms and legs, making him unable to walk.  Additionally, two steel rods were surgically attached to Patrick's
spine to correct scoliosis.
   Despite circumstances that seem overwhelming to you and me, Patrick has overcome these physical
issues to excel as a musician and student. Patrick started playing the piano at the age of only nine months,
and also plays the trumpet and sings. He even participates in the University of Louisville School of Music
Marching and Pep Bands with help from his father (Patrick John Hughes), who tirelessly maneuvers his
wheel chair through the formations with the other 220+ members of the Cardinal Marching Band. Patrick is
usually a straight 'A' student, having received only 6 'B's' during his entire educational experience - up to
and including his junior year of college (3.9 gpa).  Patrick is a Spanish language major and speaks Spanish
fluently.
    A virtuoso pianist, vocalist and trumpet player, Patrick has won or finished very high in numerous
competitions, as well as winning awards acknowledging the circumstances he has overcome to achieve
these heights.  He has been featured on ESPN, ABC-TV, Oprah, CBS-TV, The Ellen Show, Extreme Make
Over Home Edition, FOX-TV, CSTV, NBC-TV, Million Dollar Round Table, The Grand Ole Opry, People
Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Star Magazine, and many, many others.  
    Patrick has made appearances from California to New York and Chicago to Texas and Miami and countless
points in between, even performing in Asia, Canada, South America and Europ
e.
     
His first book, I AM POTENTIAL, is published and available around the country/world.  He has also
recorded two CD's.
