BEN PATTERSON
Patterson & Associates, Richardson, TX
When Ben Patterson began his career, he was employee number five at an independent agency with only four carrier contracts. The best opportunity to write business was in personal lines. The agency took advantage of the successes on the personal lines side to pursue carrier contracts, building one book at a time. Patterson’s focus, however, turned to commercial carrier contracts, where he now focuses on foundations, nonprofits and technology. Accounts with professional or directors & officers exposure are what he enjoys most. Patterson is president of Patterson & Associates Insurance Agency, which is an IIABA Best Practices Agency and also was recognized as a Best Place to Work by the Dallas Business Journal in 2013 and 2015.
