Patrick is Chef Owner at Mulvaney’s Building & Loan, a farm to fork restaurant in Sacramento, California. Victor is Director of the NC Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, Substance Abuse Services at the NC Department of Health and Human Services.

Victor is a nationally recognized mental health leader and advocate, also known for his strong and effective social media presence, raising awareness and reducing stigma.
