  • Brandon Patterson Advocate for Iowa Skilled Trades is working with businesses, organizations, individuals to bring awareness to opportunties in the skilled trades.

    Brandon grew up in the trades industry. His family owned and operated Scharnweber’s Water Conditioning for over 30 years with locations in 3 cities around central Iowa. From an early age, he was found at plumbing counters, delivering products and on jobsites helping his family. During a few summers, he worked cleaning out port-a-potties in farm fields for all of the Iowans working those summer jobs. It wasn’t glamorous work, but he learned the value of hard work that led to his belief that every job is important and has purpose.


    After high school, Brandon worked at Lennox manufacturing heaters and air conditioning units while paying for college. Once again, the work was not always glamorous, but he made lifelong friendships with his colleagues on the line at Lennox. After college, he met his wife, Jill, also born into the plumbing industry. They were soon on the move together for a new job opportunity.

    Brandon & Jill both worked for Ferguson Enterprises in the industry that had raised them. Brandon worked on residential and commercial building projects in Las Vegas during the boom of the mid 2000’s with his fingerprints on many of the large projects from that time. It’s an experience he is very thankful for. After 3-1/2 years in the Southwest, Ferguson moved them back to the Midwest to Omaha and then again 13 months later for an immediate need in their home state of Iowa. They gladly accepted and were happy to be close to their families.

    In 2010 Brandon entered the real estate field while continuing to build on his education and network in the home building industry. He’s been fortunate to work on custom homes, remodels and with countless first-time homebuyers making those big decisions. In 2013, life changed forever when Brandon and Jill welcomed their son, Lachlan, to the world. Two years later they added Brecken, their second son, to the mix.

    When the Patterson’s aren’t busy running around for work or one of their numerous volunteering events, they enjoy spending time together with family and friends. They have a deep love for their Iowa Hawkeyes and go to games often. Brandon is an avid runner and loves the outdoors. He’s a repeat Tough Mudder runner, half and full marathon veteran, and has just got into biking. He truly enjoys getting on the trails alone to see all the sights that Iowa has to offer.
