Biography

Patterson was born in New York City. His mother was a librarian while his father was a high school English teacher.[2] He graduated from the University at Albany in 1984 and was the Special Assistant of Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan from 1984 to 1988. He received his law degree from The Catholic University of America in 1990.[3] Patterson later served as Moynihan's Legislative Director (1993-1995), and as Democratic Staff Director and Chief Counsel of the Senate Finance Committee (1995-1999). From 1999 to 2004 Patterson was the Policy Director for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle.

In 2004 Patterson became a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs, with the position of Vice President (2004-2007), and Managing Director (2007-2008). Patterson left Goldman Sachs in April 2008, after which he served as a volunteer for the Obama-Biden presidential campaign, and as the Senate Confirmation Coordinator for the Obama-Biden Presidential Transition Project. Upon the confirmation of Barack Obama as President, Patterson was in February 2009 appointed Chief of Staff to the Secretary of the Treasury.[4] In 2013, the recently appointed Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced Patterson's replacement as Treasury Chief of Staff.[5] Patterson is now a partner in Perkins Coie's Washington, D.C. office.[6]

Patterson is married to Jennifer S. Leete, an Assistant Director in the Enforcement Division of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He is a member of the bar of the District of Columbia and of the Supreme Court of the United States.
