About Ben
Ben was born and raised in rural Minnesota before attending the University of North Dakota where he received his bachelor’s degree in psychology. As Ben quickly realized that North Dakota was not the place to be in the golf industry, he moved south where he attended the Golf Academy of Arizona in Phoenix. Progression in the industry led him to an eventual move to Florida. He carries many years of club experience as Head Pro at Palm Aire Country Club, General Manager at Heron Bay Golf Club, General Manager at Osprey Point Golf Course in Boca Raton, and most recently the Membership and Marketing Director at Jupiter Country Club. Ben has his MBA from the University of Illinois specializing in Strategic Innovation and Analytics. In his free time, he spends time with his wife and two young daughters. He's also an avid fisherman and hockey player.
