Patrick Lucchese – Founder of Urban Advisors

In his spare time, Mr. Lucchese enjoys his wife and their two children. He is also an avid reader, with a particular interest in the works of Stephen King and James Patterson.

Working with his wife, Blythe Patrick Lucchese, Mr. Lucchese has established a career in sports photography and streaming. The husband-and-wife duo has worked to build a reputation for themselves in the industry by providing high quality, photo and videographic events for clients such as PepsiCo, The New York Yankees and Champion Stone among others. This is one of Lucchese’s greatest professional accomplishments to date: As of 2014, the pair has been chosen as the official photographers for New York Yankees home games as part of Studio55 Photography.

While Patrick Lucchese has followed a career path that has centered on real estate and investment, he has also found success in sports photography. Following his experience with the Yankees, Lucchese gained a significant following through his work with PepsiCo, where he provided photography for advertising campaigns. He is now well-established in the world of technology.

Patrick Lucchese was born and raised in Staten Island, New York. He attended Stapleton High School before beginning his law studies at Fordham University School of Law in 1983. He graduated from law school in 1996 and worked as an associate at a major New York firm until he opened Urban Advisors in 2001.

On September 22, 2015, Lucchese was arrested by the NYPD after a traffic stop turned up heroin and cocaine in his possession. Lucchese was charged with seventh degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, fifth degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and seventh degree criminal possession. His bail is set at $5,000.

Lucchese’s drug charges are not related to the company he founded or any of his business dealings. Following his arrest he has gone on record to say that he was addicted to both heroin and crack cocaine for close to eight years before seeking treatment in January 2016. He also commented that this addiction was “the greatest period of unfaithfulness” he had experienced during his marriage.
