I have been in government relations for 25 years. I am a partner in a multi-client firm with a broad spectrum of clients in every major sector. Prior to joining Fine Geddie I worked in the Finance Department of both Republican and Democrat governors, where I oversaw procurement, information technology and fiscal/financial legislation. I have worked in the financial services sector in government relations and for the state' largest business association. I have successfully managed a wide array of legislative, regulatory, economic development, and procurement issues in state and local government.
Fine Geddie was established in 1984 as the first contract lobbying firm in the State of Alabama. We are an ethnically, age, gender and disciplinarily diverse firm. We are bipartisan. Our six partners have over 200 years of combined experience in government relations. Fine Geddie has been integrally involved in most every significant legislative issue in Alabama the last 36 years. Our growth has been fueled by consistent results and successful outcomes. The most prominent businesses with a presence in Alabama rely on Fine Geddie as their most trusted advisors for navigating government relations.

Ben Patterson grew up in Florence, Alabama. He is a graduate of the University of Alabama and earned his Ph.D. from the University of Alabama where he taught seminars in State and Local Government and American Politics until 1996.
Prior to joining Fine Geddie in 2004 he served as the Deputy Finance Director for the State of Alabama under two governors and helped guide both administrations' legislative efforts on fiscal issues. He also held the position of Chief Information Officer, overseeing the state's technology acquisitions in the late 1990s. During his tenures in state government, he gained a thorough understanding of government operations, procurement, information technology, state budgets and controls, and the complexities of Alabama's tax structure.
Ben Patterson also served as the Director of Government Relations for the Alabama Bankers Association from 2000 until 2003 where he was the principal advocate for the state banking industry. He began his lobbying career as a Manager of Legislative Affairs for the Business Council of Alabama in 1996.
