Patrick Snow, "The Dean of Destiny," is an international bestselling author, professional keynote speaker, publishing, speaking and book-marketing coach.

He first discovered his gift for speaking at the age of 17 while giving the pre-game speeches to his high school football team. Since then, Patrick has electrified more than 3,500 audiences on four continents to create their individual and organizational destinies.

As a publishing coach, he has mentored more than 1,200 clients throughout the world to successfully publish their fiction, non-fiction, memoir, legacy, or children’s book.

Patrick’s “DESTINY” message has been recognized on TV, in magazines, and in major newspapers such as The New York Times. His book and family photo was also featured as a cover story in the December 5th, 2002, issue of USA TODAY. He was also recently featured in a Spanish edition of Forbes Magazine.
