Ben has been in the commercial real estate business for over 16 years.  He is well-versed in complex transactions and specializes in working with developers and investors.   Ben has extensive experience with construction, zoning and land use issues, historic tax credits, project finance, state and local incentives, commercial investments, strategic planning, and marketing.

He started out his real estate career in 2005 working for the development firm Leeds Holdings Southeast where he specialized in market analysis, land acquisitions, project feasibility, and solving initial land development issues.  He later worked at Corporate Realty where he worked closely with clients looking for investment and development opportunities in and around New Orleans and furthered his experience in putting together development and investment deals.

Throughout his career, Ben has started several entrepreneurial ventures. In 2006, he co-founded the fishing apparel brand Old Harbor Outfitters, which manufactured and sold its products through hundreds of dealers and big box retailers across the country and around the world.  As CFO and COO, Ben played an integral role in opening the company’s first two destination retail stores in Martha’s Vineyard and Block Island. Old Harbor Outfitters was sold in 2012. In 2012, Ben started a mobile app business called Pollbob, where he served as CEO. In less than 12 months, he grew the registered user base to over 300,000 and in 2013 was acquired by Seattle-based market research firm QuestionPro.

Ben received his bachelor’s degree in Real Estate from the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.
