ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Patrick Taylor developed a deep interest in learning about the American government and the U.S. Constitution as a young child. Thanks to some very influential social science teachers during his formative years, that interest became something of an obsession. After graduating from high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he first served as an Electronic Warfare Technician and later as a Cryptologic Technician.
Patrick has spent several years as a volunteer in his local communities, mentoring and counseling unaccompanied homeless and at-risk youth. He also trained volunteers, led street outreach counseling teams, and served as a local community Executive Director. After leaving the Navy, he decided to work in the field of education, where he is presently exploring his passion for educating youth about the fragility of our democratic way of life. He lives in Southern California
