About Ben

I am a mid-20s civil engineer with experience working for large engineering and construction firms (Bechtel for almost two years, currently Kiewit) as well as entrepreneurial experience trying to set up my own business. I worked for Bechtel in Doha, Qatar for the almost two years I was with them so I am familiar with parts of the Middle East.

I am very passionate about construction and entrepreneurship, as I feel both are beneficial to people doing the work and the community at large. I have a bachelors degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and a masters degree in civil engineering from Columbia University in New York City.

I have no military experience but I would like to help the community in any way I can.
