Background

About Patrick Cavanaugh

Throughout my college career, I pursued things that inspired me most. Performing improvisational comedy six nights a week, I focused my curriculum on Anthropology, learning as much as I could about the human condition. Leaving home behind, my part-time jobs allowed me to have a foot in the world of film, something I had always been passionate about. My love of conserving wildlife combined perfectly with my background in performing to become a Presentation Specialist at John G. Shedd Aquarium, where I gave formal and informal presentations about aquatic animals to crowds as small as 10 and as large as In my downtime from a full-time and part-time job, I managed a film website that focused on movie reviews and filmmaker interviews. My notoriety in the film journalism world opened doors to film festivals around the country and a growing fanbase who found my combination of humor and critical analysis always entertaining. This hobby eventually turned into my career when the Marvel.com digital team looked up expand and my passion, writing, and work ethic proved to be the exact skills necessary to join the Marvel Universe. I've traveled the country looking for new, fun, and exciting experiences to share with audiences around the world and each day is a reminder to never give up on your passion, because one day you might be able to make a living pursuing it.
