Patrick Kien, President

I have a lovely wife, Lori, and three wonderful boys, Michael, Jason, and Jeremy. I enjoy being very active in their lives. I enjoy a host of outdoor activities including hiking, canoeing, camping and sports.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Lowell, MA. Currently, I am Manager, Workplace Resources at Cisco.

Living in Gwinnett County, I am proudly on the Board of Directors for Hi-Hope Service Center. I am also an active Advisory Board Member for Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful. The organization plays an important role to build and sustain a community movement to improve practices affecting our environment. Previously, I coached baseball and football in the Gwinnett County recreational youth sports programs for 13 years as I enjoy being part of this community and giving back where ever I can. I completed the Leadership Gwinnett program in 2002 to 2003.

Hi-Hope is important to me because the organization truly makes a difference everyday. The opportunity to be a part of our clients and their families’ lives and see the results that Hi-Hope staff members make is truly rewarding and inspirational.
