About

Patterson Pope recently turned 40. It’s the kind of moment that gives one (even one company) a pause to reflect and ask the deeper questions? Where have we been? Where are we going? Does this mean we have to grow up now?

Over the years, we’ve helped many people and many companies solve their stuff problems. We’ve become the official representative for wonderful product lines like Spacesaver, Hamilton Sorter, Hanel and others. We’ve grown from nine employees to over two hundred; from serving one state to serving ten. So, have we grown up? Hopefully, not too much. Where are we headed? It’s not important. Sure, we’ve got plans and schemes, but we believe if we stay true to who we are and what we do, there are few limits on how far we can go.

Leadership Team

They know stuff. If you ask them about it, they’ll be too modest to admit it, but don’t let them fool you. Patterson Pope has grown from nine employees to over a hundred and expanded from one state to five. Yeah, it’s safe to say, they know stuff.

Denny Hammack, President/CEO
Denny has been in the filing, storage and records management business for over 25 years. Along the way, he’s held every job title except “filing cabinet.” Now, he’s the seasoned (and passionate) leader of our mission to solve the STUFF problems of the world. Denny, a UVA grad, has been a member of the Johnston YMCA board for 14 years, enjoys coaching youth sports and teaching Sunday School. He and his wife Kathy have two children (Cole and Carly).

Will Patterson, CFO
Will is a bottom line kind of guy. From Virginia Tech to KPMG Peat Marwick to Patterson Pope, he keeps the numbers in line. He even keeps numbers in check at his church as Chair of the Finance Committee. But of all the numbers one can find in business and in life, two stand out for Will. 27 – the years he has been married to his lovely wife, Ellen. And 3 – his children (Wes, Trent and Anne Katherine).

David Parr, VP of Sales
A UNC-Chapel Hill grad, David brings over 25 years of sales experience to Patterson Pope. He came to P2 after 20 years with Weyerhaeuser in Sales, Sales Management and Operations. The easiest sell of his career was his interview with us. We jumped at the chance to get him on board. Outside of work he is on the board at the Siskey YMCA and is part of the Board and Executive Committee at his church. He is married to Cyndy and has three lovely daughters (Lindsey, Ashley and Anna).

Ron Nienhuis, General Manager, Florida Division
Ron brings 20 years of commercial interior experience to Patterson Pope. He’s worked at DuPont, and he was the president of Kardex for 10 years. He also has a PhD from Northwestern University. Suffice to say his resume makes our resumes feel bad about themselves. But that’s okay, we lucked out when we got him. Ron and his wife Bonnie have three children (Rachel, Ross and Ryan).
