About the Person
Patrick Wilson has been intrigued by the amazing potential of technology, patient care, and customer service for more than a decade and has been passionate about computer applications for more than 32 years. His dad, an education and blogger (www.granddadscience.com), brought home the first personal computer in the county when Patrick was just four years old. This early start fueld his lifelong passion for technology and also provided him with a keen understanding of both legacy systems and bleeding-edge technology. A 17-year veteran of the computer industry, Patrick currently serves as the assistant director of IT, security, and infrastructure for Contra Costa County Health Services (CCHS). CCHS consists of a 160-bed hospital, three large clinics, 25+ smaller clinics, a health plan, public health, hazardous materials, and environmental health. Previously, Patrick headed up the IT organizations for several Silicon Valley startups, including Global Network Manager, serving as the director of IT and CTO. In 2006, Patrick cofounded Vital Signs Technology, Inc. with Scott McEvoy, which serves the technology needs of small to midsized medical practices on the West Coast. Patrick has a bachelor's degree in business from Western Baptist College. He is a CISSP, MCSE+ Security, CompTIA Security+, certified in Homeland Security CHS-I, and a Microsoft Small Business Specialist. He also has a federal certification from CERT and FEMA. Patrick lives in Northern California with his wonderful (and patient) wife and two awesome kids. His hobbies include spending quality time with his family, flying, and skydving - ofcourse, never both at the same time.
