hi, I’m ben

My passion for engineering, field service, mechanical systems, and visual arts started at a young age. From F.I.R.S.T. Robotics in High School, to borrowing my uncle’s camera to learn photography, to working on complex precision steam turbine components for a global conglomerate; I am passionate about it all. I’ve designed a 48-ton capacity monorail system, a 12-ton turbine casing stud modification, TrailNest Duo, BaseTank, and more.

For me, learning calculus, photography, design software, latte art, or perfecting braised short ribs, all share one commonality; they’re all challenging. Overcoming challenges through the process of failure to create something spectacular is my forte, and I am bringing that same tenacity to the healthcare industry.

My 6 years of executive sales have given me a unique asset that bridges the gap between the customer’s challenging needs and what can be offered as a solution. Not only do I have the mechanical left brain needed to understand how systems work, but I also have the imaginative visual arts right brain that showcases a distinctive hybrid approach that’s ready to overcome the next challenge.

When I’m not working, you can find me pondering by an alpine lake, cooking a delectable bite, or capturing the moment on camera.
