Patrick is the founder and co-owner of Great Lakes Seminars and the creator of the manual therapy courses for Great Lakes Seminars. As Clinical Director, Patrick oversees all aspects of the courses, including hiring and training instructors, updating course content and working with instructors to ensure that our courses are continuing to meet the needs of the registrants. Patrick also responds to a large portion of questions from registrants regarding clinical matters.
Patrick is blessed to be married to an incredible woman, Christy Hoban, as well as having three fantastic kids - Gabriel, Sarah and Matthew. He loves to spend time with his family, work out and read.
Tony Castaldi is a co-owner of Great Lakes Seminars. Tony’s responsibility is ensuring that everything other than the actual teaching portion of our courses is top notch and evolving to meet the needs of our registrants.
His way of doing this is staying out of the way of the Great Lakes Seminars’ talented staff (Laura, Melanie and Ann) and trying to help guide without limiting their ideas or skills. Although he is ultimately responsible for the non-teaching side of our business, he realizes that GLS staff members are in touch with our registrants and are therefore the best suited to address their needs.
Contrary to the popular belief that Tony enjoys romance movies, pastel colors and kittens, he actually loves simply doing anything with his wife and two boys, fishing, music and reading.
Laura Temple is the Business Director for Great Lakes Seminars. Laura oversees everything that is not clinically based, primarily marketing, private courses, creating/altering the course schedule and improving the general operations of Great Lakes Seminars. In her free time, Laura enjoys both watching and participating in sports. She is an avid Ohio State football fan and enjoys various outdoor activities and staying active. Please feel free to email Laura with your questions pertaining to hosting a private course or any of the above-mentioned subjects.
Ann Crandall, the Business Manager for Great Lakes Seminars, oversees course confirmation for registrants, is the main contact for our host facilities, analyzes course evaluations and oversees continuing education requirements. Please feel free to email Ann with any questions about continuing education, if you are in need of a course confirmation letter or receipt, or if you are already in the process of hosting a course.
Ann has been with GLS since 2003. She has been married 38 years and has two daughters and four grandsons. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends and going to the lake.
Melanie Meyer, the Office Manager for Great Lakes Seminars, oversees course registration, locating host facilities, managing course materials, phone and email inquiries, website maintenance and general office administration. Please feel free to email Melanie with questions about course availability, registration, interest in hosting a public course or feedback concerning our website.
Melanie enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading and volunteering within her community and church.
