Ben attended Georgia Tech (but yes, he did marry a Bulldog) and studied Industrial Design. He continued to nurture his design/build passion during his journey at Tech. 

Graduating during a time that design jobs were scarce, Ben found himself building a career in marketing and software product management. He went back to Tech to get his MBA and Masters in Industrial Design, and continued to advance in his career. Today, Ben owns Spindle & Oak, a construction firm specializing in indoor and outdoor renovations, new home construction, and commercial renovations. 

Ben lives with his best friend and love of his life, Laine. They have three girls and live in Sandy Springs. They can be found on weekends enjoying family time in a local park, volunteering with various non-profits around Atlanta and spending time with family and friends. Ben and his family attend Buckhead Church.
