About Patrick
I've spent 18 years in the beverage industry, working on both the distribution and supplier sides. I've held various roles, helping brands thrive across all trade channels, from large national brands to startups. My focus has primarily been in energy drinks, alcohol startups, and more recently, general merchandise.
IngTon Recruiting & Consulting was founded to connect clients and candidates with the ideal fit, leveraging my deep industry experience.
My Story...the condensed version
Patrick, originally from Dallas, Texas, grew up in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. After earning a Business Administration degree from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, he moved to Arizona with friends to escape the harsh winters. Four years later, he and his wife relocated to Minnesota, where Patrick began his beverage career with Extreme Beverage, Minnesota’s top Red Bull distributor. Starting on a truck, he eventually became VP of Sales until the company closed. Patrick then played a key role at Bang Energy Drink, helping it become a leader in the energy drink market. He has also held VP and Director positions at several energy and canned cocktail startups.
Outside of work, Patrick enjoys spending time with his wife, twin daughters, and pets. A passionate Wisconsin sports fan, he cheers for the Green Bay Packers and Milwaukee Brewers. In his free time, you can find him attempting to golf or fishing (and ice fishing) in one of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.
