Originally from San Francisco, Ben lived in Manhattan for 25 years and traveled to the Far East while working as an executive in the fashion industry. He moved to Florida and worked on developing a major regional restaurant group and was involved in the sale of the company. He spent over eight years helping real estate clients in the Palm Beach area. “Real estate is about service, and I spent over 40 years of my career delivering customer service every day,” stated Ben.

Ben fell in love with Lake Oconee when he and his wife, Beth, visited a couple of years ago and moved to the area full-time last year. An avid golfer and fisherman, Ben enjoys the lake and the variety of first-class golf and amenities the community offers. He starts his day with an early morning swim at the Lake Club. 

Ben and Beth are active members of Christ our King and Savior Catholic Church. He believes in giving back and a staple of his community work includes being the Board Chairman of Alliance for Kids, a nonprofit organization designed to provide innovative programs and resources to enhance healthcare specialist services for hospitalized children and their families. 

Ben and Beth have three children, two who live in Florida and one who lives in California, as well as two young grandchildren, and a White German Shepherd fur-baby.
