You've all probably met Pat via email, now it's time for us to share more about our tech expert and amazing father.

What gets you out of bed in the morning?

For the past couple of months, mainly my newborn girl. I wake up every day on a mission to become a better man than yesterday. I want to set an example for my two daughters.

What comes to mind when you think about growing up in your hometown?

I think family. I was born and grew up in Italy. Being so far away for so long makes you deeply understand what is essential in life and what is not.

What is the best lesson your father ever taught you?

I love my dad, but he hasn't been very present in my life. He has always been too busy working.

What I now know is this: all the time you don't spend with your loved ones creating memories that are worth remembering is time wasted.

What three adjectives would best describe you?

I hope I don't sound too self-assured, but I'd say humble, confident and strong.

How did you choose your career?

I didn't choose a carreer, to be honest. I follow my instinct and do what I love the most which is IT, although I graduated in something completely different!

What do you love about our Kabana customers?

Despite Kabana having a customer support team, one of the things that I love the most is when I get to deal with customers directly if they are having issues buying online. It's fantastic to see how happy they are when you help them. It makes me feel good.

What are the three best decisions you've ever made?

To work on becoming the best possible version of myself, to start and hold on to a very challenging workout routine and to have a family with the girl I always loved since I was a teenager.

How do you strike a healthy work/life balance?

Most people say they don't have time, and I used to be one of them. Until I realised it was just an excuse. Before I had my last child, I used to wake up and go to the gym at 5 am everyday. My diet consists solely of healthy food (and some wine). At 37, I feel way younger and stronger than when I was 25!

Is there something you've always wanted to do or experience that you haven't had a chance to yet?

If you asked me this question just a couple of years ago, I'd have replied with, "I always wanted to be a professional musician". However, my mindset changed profoundly. I'd say I'd like to experience my physical and mental limits. Maybe I'll signup for SAS Australia one day.

What do you think the world needs right now?

The world needs many things, unfortunately. But I should give my two cents on what I'm confident about: understand that mindset is everything. I see depressed people everywhere.

And this whole social media thing is just making it more evident that everyone's desperately looking for a minute of glory. Stop pursuing happiness; you have it already. Just use it.
