Patrick Nye
Regional Director
My role as the Regional Director for the Los Angeles Small Business Development Network is to serve small business throughout our tri-county network from the Lead Center at Long Beach City College. I work with each of the eight service centers to provide strategic direction, partnership opportunities, growth opportunities and the high caliber services required to help each of our clients thrive. Activities outside of the office include boxing for fitness and stand-up paddle surfing. I’m an adventurous home cook and have expert knowledge of pre-prohibition style drink making.
