About Patrick

A decade of sobriety, told honestly.

Patrick S. Wall is a speaker and the founder of White Pines, a men's mental health movement. He speaks from lived experience — about addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and the cost of chasing validation for too long.

His message is not polished, and that's on purpose. It's the message he needed when he was at rock bottom. It's the one he's determined to give to the men standing where he once stood.

Based in Chicago. Speaks nationwide.

"I'm not trying to be impressive anymore. I'm trying to be useful."
