Ben's desire to be in the financial industry started many years ago. As he worked in the fields of their family agriculture operation, he dreamed of being on Wall Street. During high school, he made it his goal to open a full service investment firm office in his hometown, Wellington, Florida, upon graduating college. He was fortunate to work for a senior advisor at Merrill Lynch for several years while attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. He then met his bride and partner of almost thirty years in a Finance class at UF and they eventually moved to Wellington to pursue the dream.

When Ben is not in the office you can find him involved in Community activities with the Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Rotary Club of Wellington, and Wellington Regional Medical Center. He is also an avid antique collector and owns an 1870 stock ticker tape machine handmade by Thomas Edison. His other hobbies include hunting, scuba diving and water skiing.
