Patrick Keefe is a lifelong Massachusetts resident who started his life in Everett and has lived in Revere for more than two decades. A varsity baseball player in high school and college, Patrick had his eye on a career in the pros, but, after graduating from Newbury College, he shifted his focus to a career in service. Over his 25 year career, Keefe worked in some of Boston’s finest hotels, and, most recently, for legendary Massachusetts company Legal Sea Foods as its Culinary Director. Patrick and his wife, Jennifer Keefe moved to Revere in 2004 and, from the beginning, they loved the Revere community. Patrick brought his love of sports to Revere’s youth sports leagues as a volunteer coach for St. Mary’s Youth Baseball and Softball League, then for Revere Pop Warner and Revere Recreation’s Basketball League. Even after the Keefe children aged out of youth sports, Patrick continued to serve the community as President of Revere Pop Warner, Eastern Massachusetts Representative for Pop Warner, and Baseball Director for Revere Youth Baseball.

Working with kids and families in Revere through sports inspired Patrick to further serve his community as a Revere City Councilman. In 2015 Patrick won the Ward 4 City Council seat, a position he has held continuously until this year, when he was unanimously voted Interim Mayor by his colleagues. Prior to his time as Mayor, Patrick served two terms as City Council President and a partial term as City Council Vice President after the untimely loss of a fellow Council member.

In addition to his official work in Revere, Patrick joined the Tufts Marathon team in 2011 and raised thousands of dollars for children's nutritional research. He is a founding member of a local running club and the annual Revere 5k, and co-manages a yearly coat drive to provide warm outerwear to local students. Patrick is also a living donor, having donated his kidney to his mother in 1999.

Patrick, Jennifer, and their children continue to live in Revere with their Boston Terrier, Vince.
