Patrick Kling

​Self-Proclaimed K'Nex Connoisseur, Patrick has been a lifelong theme park enthusiast. Uninterested in spelling bees or joining the football team, California native Patrick spent his time building replica roller coasters and weekends with family & friends enjoying Southern California and the plethora of Entertainment offerings. Water Parks, the Theater, theme parks, and more, Patrick knew where he wanted to be and positioned himself amongst the starting ranks as a Disneyland Cast Member. Moving to Florida, Patrick not only rose in experiences and titles, holding positions in roles at SeaWorld, ITEC Entertainment, and Nickelodeon but, more importantly, met the love of his life. Whether networking, serving as Vice President on the TEA Eastern Division Board, or launching Themed Experience TV, Patrick has always led with love and is striving for inclusion. Through the Klingaverse (copyright pending), Patrick uses his network to connect people from all walks of life to shed light on the barriers existing in our industry and creating solutions with the Big Break Foundation.
