About Patrick Smeraldo

I am a recently retired adaptive physical education teacher in the Jamestown Public Schools. Throughout my career I served as a sports coach and mentor while specializing in at–risk and students with disabilities. Sixteen years ago, I was chosen as the Independent Service Coordinator of Chautauqua Connections Inc, which is a member corporation of The Resource Center. Working with them has provided me with so many opportunities to dive into Chautauqua County, while trying to assist children birth to 5 and their families in avoiding gaps in any services that they may need. This position also provided the opportunity to become one of three coordinators for the Chautauqua County Toys for Tots Program. In March of 2025 I joined Allied Industries, a division of the Resource Center in Jamestown NY. I serve as the Coordinator of Business Development and will work with both facilities in Jamestown an Dunkirk fostering relationships with all current customers and developing new ones in hopes of partnering with them to offer our services in sub contracting, environmental services and commercial sewing.I am a lifelong Chautauqua County resident and for the last 22 years my wife, Jill, and I have raised our two sons Jacob, 20, and Nicholas, 16, to be respectful and hardworking as well as have stressed the importance of community involvement no matter where you live.
