Mr. and Mrs. Korthuis arrived in the USA a few years before Patrick was born. <br />He considers it a blessing to be able to be raised knowing two different cultures, the <br />Dutch and the American culture. Patrick has an older brother, Edward and a younger <br />sister Yvonne. Patrick was very fortunate to have been able to go to Holland several <br />times during his youth and spend time with his Dutch relatives. The visits to Holland and <br />the influence of his parents gave Patrick the opportunity to learn Dutch. <br /> <br />Patrick learned the value of entrepreneurship at the age of nine when he acquired his own <br />newspaper route, delivering for the Harold Examiner, and then moved to the Independent <br />Press Telegram. He graduated from Gahr High School in Cerritos. He was accepted at <br />Universal Technical Institute, where he graduated with a Diesel Mechanic degree. <br /> <br />He worked as a Mechanic for 18 years before he and his wife decided to venture into <br />having their own business. After some research they bought a Sir Speedy Printing. They <br />have had their business since 1999. In 2006 they were able to purchase a building for the <br />business which allows them to continue to grow. The business has been in Santa Ana <br />since 1974 and at the same location until they recently moved into their new facility at <br />1540 S. Lyon Street in Santa Ana. <br /> <br />Patrick is a member of the Santa Ana Chamber and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and <br />is past President the Santa Ana Kiwanis club. <br /> <br />In his free time he enjoys working in the garden.
