Patrick Willey, aka Chodes Mahoney and co-founder of Two Feet and Classy Productions, was raised with a love for the water. Born in Richmond, Virginia, his father taught him a life of fishing whether on the James river, at the Outer Banks or off-shore. Having developed a passion for the water, Patrick worked as a first mate and then a captain on sport fishing boats in South Carolina and later became a fly fishing guide in Colorado. Patrick had always loved photography, and after discovering his natural talent and connection between both the water and the art of creating videos, he began to create marketing videos for small businesses. Upon returning to Charleston, SC after years of being away, Patrick was able to find a place to merge his love for the ocean and his passions: videography, surfing and all things water. NESKA is his acronym for life, whether he’s surfing, riding motorcycles or behind the camera, he is always striving to Never Ever Stop Kicking Ass.
