Leader’s Edge Interview with Matt Gardner, Founder & CEO, Patriot Growth Insurance Services, LLC

Q: In college you received financial aid from the Philadelphia Hero Scholarship Fund, and you have served on the fund’s board of directors. What’s the connection for you?

A: My dad, Dick Gardner, was a lieutenant in the Philadelphia Fire Department, and he was permanently disabled in the line of duty. He passed away at age 50, when I was 20 years old, and the Hero Scholarship Fund helped pay for my college education. I named our company Patriot as a tribute to my dad. The Latin and Greek roots of the word “patriot” are both related to the word “father.”
