St. Pete native returns with tech company, opportunities

As a boy growing up on the Southside of St. Peterburg, Pat Mack never imagined he would one day become the owner of a successful tech business.

Following over two decades in the Navy, Mack founded PVM in 2011 while living in San Diego. PVM is a software engineering company focused on solving problems through data, often in the security and defense industries. What started as a one-man consulting firm quickly grew, and Mack recently relocated his company to his childhood home.

No more Petty squabbles: Heartbreakers Lynch, Campbell reunite

After almost 20 years of radio silence, Stan Lynch and Mike Campbell, founding members of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, are talking – and playing - again.

Lynch is playing drums with Campbell’s band the Dirty Knobs through the end of June, filling in for Matt Laug, who had a prior commitment. The band, with Lynch behind the kit, plays the Orpheum in Tampa Wednesday, May 4 (the show is sold out).
