NYCC is Feb 6th - 8th MORE ZENE-NEWS - No Quarter

Pat Croce Offers Zenescope "No Quarter"


Entrepreneur Pat Croce has been successful in many and varied business ventures, but he came from humble beginnings. The Philadelphia native began his career as a physical therapist for the National Hockey League’s Philadelphia Flyers. He founded Sports Physical Therapists in 1984, which he grew into a 40-store chain before selling the business in 1993 for $40 million. Croce invested some of that windfall to become co-owner and president of the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team in 1996, and under his leadership, the once-languishing team went from last place to winning the Eastern Conference Championships in 2001. Croce has also become a successful non-fiction writer, penning a number of New York Times best-selling self-help books.

Croce is adept at turning his passions into successful business ventures, and one of his latest endeavors is to build a brand showcasing his life-long fascination with pirates. A fervent collector of artifacts of and relating to swashbucklers of days gone by, Croce decided to put his collection on display for all the world to see at the Pirate Soul Museum that he opened in Key West, Florida in 2005. He also wrote a pair of non-fiction pirate books, is developing a big-budget Blackbeard movie, and is co-writing a pirate graphic novel called “No Quarter,” to be published by Zenescope Entertainment.
