Paul

Paul J Patterson was born to Samuel and Katie Patterson of Bridgeport, Connecticut. He graduated from Central High School before continuing his education at Central Connecticut State and Hampton Universities, where he majored in Business Management.

After graduation Paul was hired as an Account Executive for Ryder Truck Rental in Stratford Connecticut. He was promoted to Rental Manager and again to District Rental Manager before resigning to accept an account executive position with Southwestern Bell Corporation/ Advent Information Services of Dallas, Texas. The position included development and sales of the “Silver Pages,’ a nationwide set of directories in which companies offered goods and services at discounted and preferred rates for senior citizens. The position afforded the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and experience in creative advertising techniques, print ad design, graphic design, and the science of public relations.

Paul began his career at Come Clean Entertainment in 2001, due to his long friendship and working relationship with Darryl Wheeler Sr. whom he met during his tenure as Community Relations Director for Radio Disney, Hartford, Connecticut. One of the primary responsibilities of the Community Relations Director was to encourage a mutually beneficial business/community relationship with companies in their respective markets by providing Disney quality, family- oriented entertainment events and promotions that these local businesses could partner with and benefit from a relationship with the Disney Corporation. This assignment proved particularly difficult when attempting to enlist contemporary pop music artists for these events that the entire family could enjoy, meet the Disney Corporation’s tough standards regarding proper lyrics and attire, and with the credentials necessary to assure a successful event. Paul was introduced to Come Clean Entertainments President Darryl Wheeler Sr. and his 12 year old singer son, Darryl aka LiL D, who had been recently signed by Universal Records. Darryl and Come Clean Entertainment proved to be exactly what the Disney Corporation required and ultimately proved to be a huge favorite at many Radio Disney events around the country. The two men realized they shared many of the same beliefs and had virtually the same ideals and goals; it was not surprising that a great friendship developed and remains to this day.

Paul Patterson currently resides in Chattanooga, TN and is the proud father of Sean and Viveca Patterson.
