After that he was the youngest managing director in the country of a regional repertory theatre company in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. From there he moved back to Boston and spent almost a decade heading up public relations and fundraising at The Boston Children’s Museum.

In 1996 he bought out his former business partner and began expanding Patrick Day into home furnishings and accessories.
