In 1932, Forrest I. Patnode, an underwriter for Fidelity Mutual Insurance Company, decided to go into business for himself. He began representing a carefully selected group of financially sound, reputable A+ rated insurance companies, placing customers’ policies with the company that offered the best coverage at the most competitive price.

Forrest’s son, Richard Patnode, took over the business in the late 1960s. He continued his father’s dedication to balancing customers’ policies and pricing, and built the business to where it is today.

Richard’s son, Jason Patnode, has been working with his dad for several years, creating a partnership that will carry the business into the future.
