Patrick Kain is a Founding Partner of Birch Benefits, a Philadelphia-based employee benefits firm that strives to bring a breath of fresh air to employee benefit program strategy, design, and management.

Patrick started his career in the employee benefits industry his freshman year at Villanova University, making cold calls in his free time when he wasn’t competing as an All-American and international water polo athlete.

After graduating from Villanova, he joined Philadelphia-based firm Trion (now Marsh McLennan Agency) and quickly became their top-performing producer. After 16 years of helping to grow Trion into the country’s largest privately held employee benefits brokerage, Patrick saw an opportunity to bring a fresh face and new leadership to a market of traditional consultants and brokerages.

In 2018, Patrick set out to create an employee benefits firm that coupled a culture of genuine client-first service with mature technical capabilities to provide a differentiated client experience. Today, Birch Benefits is one of the fastest organically-growing firms in the Philadelphia region.

When he isn’t spending time with his wife, four kids, and two dogs, Patrick is giving back to the Greater Philadelphia community, volunteering locally, coaching his favorite sport, and serving on several boards.
