About Pat
I have been with Goosehead Insurance since 2021 in the Des Moines metro area. With the many A-rated companies we have available, I am able to find a good fit for most of my clients. Before coming to Goosehead Insurance, I worked for both captive and choice model insurance companies - I prefer the latter because it is more consumer-friendly. I have over 14 years of experience in Health, Life, Business, Workers' Compensation, Personal Lines, and other specialty surplus insurance markets. I currently live in Clive with my wife, Jen, and three children. In my free time I enjoy traveling, golfing, children’s activities, and kidding around with the people around me - mostly my son, Oliver, who has the best jokes!

Pat was available at all times to discuss our conversation points regarding plans on insurance policies best suited for our family.
Pat advised us through the policy. Each coverage and cost. The premiums our family pays out of pocket. Pat was referred by our Mortgage Lender. Naturally, the same caliber of customer service was met with the highest possible care.
Many Blessings,
Audrey Ruden and Ivan Kruger
