We like to get to know our models so we asked a few questions to get to know Patrick. Here is what he had to say...

Question: Do you have any special talents?

Jack: I DJ and play guitar

Question: What stereotype do you most wish people would stop enforcing?

Jack: That nightlife isn’t a vital and integral part of a city’s culture. People too often dismiss nightlife as this hedonistic underbelly of a city, where people go to just hook up and abuse substances. Nightlife is so important to retaining younger generations in a city and there’s so much culture that people are missing out when you dismiss these spaces after you’ve settled down with a partner. People from all different walks of life come together and dance together - people that never otherwise would be around each other. It’s a mass release of energy from the working week and it’s something I’m proud to help shape in Kansas City.

Question: How can we build an atmosphere of inclusion regardless of personal religious or political beliefs?

Jack: People feel like they have to understand every decision someone makes in order to validate it. And when we don’t understand something, all of a sudden we have to assign a moral value to it. You can include someone without always understanding them. What’s not OK is pushing your beliefs or lack of understanding as a moral right or wrong and policing others on what they do with their own bodies. As long as you’re not hurting anyone and staying true to yourself, you’re welcome at my party
