Patrick Scott Patterson is a professional treasure hunter and proprietor of We Got One, an online collectible shop based out of North Texas. His work in television and film goes back more than 20 years on both sides of the camera.His earliest media adventures came while he was still in high school, playing a variety of characters on an evening radio show on Dallas's 97.1 KEGL in 1992. Patterson has often cited these opportunities as what sparked his passion for creating content across all forms of media.His first appearances on television came back in the late 1990s during his days as a professional wrestler named the "Hardcore Kingpin" Scott Phoenix. His wrestling credits include DVDs such as XCW Wrestling's Battlebox 7 (2007) as an in-ring competitor and numerous commentary credits for releases by the National Wrestling Alliance, XCW Wrestling and IHWE Wrestling.After wrapping up his time in the ring, Patterson turned to other projects, most notably working as a consulting producer with G4tv at E3 2009. Working together for months, G4 and Patterson put together the first-ever arcade video game world record attempt ever broadcast on television as Steve Wiebe attempted a new achievement on the classic 'Donkey Kong'.The success of the broadcast led to a variety of other work, including appearances in video game documentary films such as Nintendo Quest (2015), World 1-1 (2015), The New 8-Bit Heroes (2016), Pixel Poetry (2014), Mother to Earth (2019) and Surviving Indie (2016). He has also appeared on television shows such as SpikeTV's Frankenfood (2014), Young Hollywood's Pop Culture Underground (2015), Vice's The Real Kings of Kong mini-documentary (2013) and as a video game culture expert on every television news station in the Dallas/Fort Worth market.Patterson's work on TV mini-series Video Game Box Art: The Stories Behind the Covers (2019) was as both a producer and an on-camera interviewer.He also worked with NBCUniversal in a failed collaborative effort to revive the G4 brand from 2015 to 2017. During this time, Patterson conducted a rare interview with Toru Iwatani, the creator of the classic arcade game Pac-Man, an opportunity that Patterson stated was a personal goal for himself that was decades in the making.Off-camera, Patterson has been a featured speaker at a number of live pop culture events including San Diego Comic-Con, SXSW, E3 and a variety of regional conventions all across the United States. In 2012, he was among the video game industry guests on the red carpet for the premiere of the film Noobz (2012) in Los Angeles. Also in 2012, Patterson appeared in an episode of the Gaming Under the Influence game show from Chicago, winning the live competition on a variety of game titles.He has also worked at times as a full-time freelance writer for a wide variety of video game, pop culture and sports magazines and websites. In 2018, Patterson took a break from the entertainment industry to focus on growing We Got One from a part-time gig into a self-sustaining business, noting both personal setbacks and wear from a series of TV projects that died on the vine between 2014 and 2017. With his newfound time, he began scouring auctions, estate sales, yard sales, thrift stores and specialty shops across all of Texas in search of fun, rare and special items for his online shop. Some of his finds have garnered national media attention and now reside in museums around the world.In early 2020, Patterson appeared within a video game as a shopkeeper in the independently published adventure game '486' (2020).In late 2020, Patterson announced that he will once again be seeking out opportunities in the entertainment industry while continuing to grow his online business, citing the rise of streaming video services as providing more opportunities than what existed before.Patterson is married to his high school sweetheart Melissa, a veteran school teacher and educator. They have two children and reside in Denton, TX. Show less «
