Pat Brown's motto is "Life is not a dress rehearsal."

You may remember NBC 7/39's former weather anchor from her days on KyXy radio or "PM Magazine" at KFMB-TV. Over the "PM" years, Pat traveled from the rainforests of Australia to the Alps of Austria. Closer to home, she scuba dived with sharks and flew supersonic in a Navy F-14 fighter jet, earning five Emmy Awards along the way.

Prior to San Diego, Pat co-hosted "PM Magazine" at WCCO-TV in Minneapolis, Minn. and at WDTN-TV in Dayton, Ohio. Before breaking into television, Pat worked at The Washington Post while earning her degree in Communications at American University in Washington, D.C.

She is also a credentialed teacher and taught fifth grade in Solana Beach.

In the San Diego community, Pat is a trustee emeritus of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, serves on the Burn Institute Advisory Board, and hosted Media Fellowship International (MFI) meetings. She has been honored with the Leadership Award by National University and named "Health Hero" by Combined Health Agencies for her volunteer work with MS and the Alzheimer's Association.

Pat has airtime that has nothing to do with television: she has soloed a single-engine airplane, piloted a blimp and a sail plane, run off a cliff in a hang glider, ridden in hot air balloons and helicopters, and endured aerobatics in an open-cockpit bi-plane. Don't forget sky diving.

In her free time, Pat loves reading, traveling, photography, cooking and exploring history. "If I could ever go back in time, I would have loved to photograph the Lewis and Clark Expedition! Ice skating and roller blading top her sporting interests, with scuba diving not far behind. ("Dad used to call me Pat-fish.")

Pat is available for speaking, emceeing and hosting events, from professional organizations to charities to churches. Life is an adventure to Pat. "I'm so blessed to have the chance to do so many different things and to have the love of my friends and family. That combination is unbeatable!"
