Pat Samsonas - Soul Grunts Pat is half Lithuanian and half Korean. Hence, as one would expect, he is a well-fortified mountain of a man, yet quite nimble at the ping-pong table.
	Pat graduated from Iolani School, and went on to play football at the Harvard of the west coast, University of LaVerne. Presently, Pat teaches special ed at Kaiser High School where he also doubles (or rather triples) as the head football coach and head girls golf coach. In his free time, Samsonas body surfs. To anyone thinking of tying the knot, “Sammy” is certified by the state of Hawaii to marry you and your significant other. Pat himself is not married; he has no kids (at least in the USA. Tijuana is a whole other story.)
		Pat listens to all local reggae music. Actually, he listens to any reggae music, but mainly Marley, Steel Pulse, Natural Vibes, Ooklah the Moc, Hoonua, 3 Plus, Jack Johnson, Moemoea, Milo Shade, One Groove. Pat's current project is to ensure that Kaiser High School is a football power for the future.
