Known for his roles in ADV Films, he's the Houston equivalent to Johnny Yong Bosch (since they both always wound up as the main lead). With them, you may recognize him as the voice of Sousuke Sagara in Full Metal Panic!, Hajime from the Gag Dub of Ghost Stories, Sato in Welcome to the NHK, and Fakir in Princess Tutu. He's also done some work with Funimation with roles such as Greed (first one, anyways) in Fullmetal Alchemist, Turles in Dragon Ball Z, Creed Diskenth in Black Cat and Graham Spector in Baccano!.
In 2010, Patton announced his decision to leave anime dubbing to work in other areas of voice performing such as audiobooks, although he stated he was willing to return to any of his past roles if more seasons are created for the series he worked on. However since 2012 he's wound up working relatively frequently with formed Sentai Filmworks starting with The World God Only Knows where he voiced Keima Katsuragi. With Sentai, he has also voiced characters such as Tooru Oikawa in Haikyuu!!
In 2013, he moved to Maryland, but still flew back occasionally to Houston to perform in some roles. But as of 2015, he has moved back to Houston and according to Facebook has also started writing scripts for anime. As of 2017, he is also working on several voice roles in Los Angeles based video games and anime alike and has moved to Los Angeles in 2018 where he voiced characters such as Kliff and Linhardt from Fire Emblem Heroes. Eventually, he returned to Texas once again as of 2023.
Not to be confused with Mike Patton or the last Governor of Hong Kong.

Allow these tropes to teach you something useful:
- Deadpan Snarker: Some of the characters he voices tend to be this.
- Pigeonholed Voice Actor: He tends to get cast as "pretty boys", with many of them having a bit of a troubled past. Fakir and Sousuke are prime examples.
- Man of a Thousand Voices: He is not limited to one voice, as he does have a wide vocal range. Heck, he is even going to voice a woman (although to be fair, the Japanese dub was also like that).
- Troubled, but Cute: Many of his characters he voices fall into this, but Sagara Sousuke needs a specific mention.
