About Patrick Fitzgerald:

Having grown up in the Bay Area playing music, in the early 1980s Patrick decided to hone his early audio skills by studying Radio & Television Communications at San Francisco State University with a particular emphasis in recording and music. He began his professional audio career in 1984. Now with over 40 years of experience across a wide variety of projects, Patrick is one of the premier audio engineers and sound designers working in the field today. Whether it’s TV or radio spots, cartoons, episodic TV, documentaries, video games, feature films, audiobooks, podcasts, or the occasional music project, he is able to efficiently craft the proper sound to meet the client's requirements. Never one to shy away from a challenge, in 2003 Patrick co-founded Polarity Post Production, San Francisco’s premier audio post production facility.
