[edit] Personal

Raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Elkins moved to Ypsilanti to attend Eastern Michigan University, the fourth in a series of public institutions he attended after graduating high school.

Although he dropped out of EMU in 2003 and moved to Olympia shortly thereafter, Ypsilanti has served as Patrick's base of operations since he returned there in the spring of 2004.
