Patrick is also the founder of Ocean Eclipse providing venture capital, corporate advice, business development, financing and media relations to corporations. Key to his work expertise is developing business models for new ventures and marketing analysis to established clients.

Mr. Smyth coined the phrase, 'Branding Tomorrow's Business'©, following that mantra when analyzing the marketplace. As an owner of an advertising agency, he managed multiple clients including negotiating content deals with Madonna, Van Halen, U2, KISS, David Lee Roth, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Sony, Lotus Communications, Warner Bros. and endorsement contracts with the likes of Larry Holmes, Fuzzy Zoeller and Rodney Dangerfield. 

Mr. Smyth was the founder of an electronic transaction processor and provider of online payment solutions working closely with major banks and industry partners including Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Jack Henry Profitstars, Citi, and clients including UPS, The State of New York, The State of California, Cardinal Commerce, Simon Properties, Mondo Prepaid Debit Card, Universal Vision and Transfirst. 

Patrick is an avid surfer who lived in Las Vegas/Los Angeles for 5 years and Tamarindo for 5 years, moving back to Whistler, BC in 2011 to hone his snowboarding skills and work in the emerging cannabis industry. Born in Vancouver, Canada, he graduated from St. George’s Boys School and then attended the University of British Columbia (BA Political Science) . He is a recipient of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award.


Patrick was fortunate enough to have a couple of mentors as he navigated his way through the formative years developing his business sense.  And to this day, he spends time bouncing things off people who provide a different perspective as the value that is offered is immeasurable.
