Patrick Rosenello has a strong connection and a deep commitment to North Wildwood.
Born in Bucks County, PA in 1972, Patrick has called North Wildwood home since he was 4 years old, graduating from St. Ann Elementary School and Wildwood Catholic High School. Patrick and his wife Michelle Davenport Rosenello are raising their three young boys, Gavin, Blake and Peyton in the same town where he grew up.
After graduating from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., Patrick spent several years as a Congressional Aide working on Capitol Hill. Returning to South Jersey, Patrick then worked for the First Legislative District Offices of State Senators Jim Cafiero and Nick Asselta and Assemblyman Jack Gibson. During his time with the Legislative Office, Patrick played a key role in the final effort to have a Convention Center built in the Wildwoods as well as having the Wildwoods designated as an UEZ Community.
In 1998, property owners on the Wildwoods Boardwalk tapped Patrick to oversee the newly created Wildwoods Boardwalk Special Improvement District, Management Corporation (WSID). In 2004, property owners in the Downtown Business District, seeing the vast improvement to the Boardwalk under the management of the WSID, formed their own Improvement District and entered into a shared services agreement with the WSID for administrative services under Patrick's direction.
A small business owner, Patrick has owned and operated a commercial and residential construction company. Patrick is also a principal in one of the fastest growing and dynamic restaurant groups in South Jersey. Together with his partners, Patrick has spearheaded the opening of the Stewarts Root Beer Restaurant and Capt'n Jacks Island Grill on the Wildwoods Boardwalk and Stewarts of Cape May on the Washington Street Mall in Cape May.
Patrick has been honored by his fellow Council Members by being selected as President of the North Wildwood City Council for seven of his eight years on Council. Patrick has also been appointed as a member of the Advisory Boards of Wildwood Catholic High School and Naval Air Station Wildwood. Membership in the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Anglesea Irish Society, the Greater Wildwoods Elks and Moose Lodge round out Patrick's community involvement.
