Learn about Eric's consultative risk management philosophy and his dedication to North Texas community philanthropy.
Eric Hernandez entered the insurance industry in 2012, starting his career as an agent with State Farm. During these foundational years, he developed a deep understanding of core risk parameters, underwriting guidelines, and the vital role communication plays in serving clients.
Recognizing that business owners require more than off-the-shelf policies, Eric transitioned to Patterson & Associates Insurance to operate as a specialized Property & Casualty Risk Advisor. Here, he has built a reputation for acting as a forensic auditor of insurance contracts.
Rather than simply comparing premiums, Eric conducts thorough risk analyses of operations, property structures, and contracts. He uncovers hidden gaps in commercial coverage, such as missing endorsements, inadequate liability limits, or misclassified workers. His goal is simple: when a loss occurs, his clients have a policy that pays out, ensuring they say: "Bingo! We are covered."
Investing time, leadership, and resources to empower small businesses and families across North Texas.
Eric served as the President and Membership Chairperson of the Subcontractors Association of the Metroplex (SAM). In these roles, he fought to ensure local construction contractors and trade business owners had access to education, fair contract guidelines, and networking groups to grow their companies.
Believing that youth athletic programs teach leadership, discipline, and teamwork, Eric sponsors local DFW youth baseball, soccer, and football organizations. His funding helps provide team equipment, safe playing spaces, and registration scholarship assistance for local families.
Eric is actively involved in community food distributions, holiday toy drives, and educational charity events in North Texas. He volunteers his personal time and risk assessment skills to help local non-profits structure safe, compliant, and impactful outreach programs.
Eric is always looking for new ways to support and give back to North Texas. If your charity, non-profit, or youth program needs sponsorships or volunteers, please get in touch with us today.
