Ben was born and raised in Myrtleford where he went to Myrtleford Primary School and then completed his VCE year 12 studies at Myrtleford High School. Upon successful completion of year 12 he studied Natural Resource Management and Landcare and Environmental studies.

Ben has an affinity for the outdoors and the environment and worked with Parks Victoria and the Department of Land Water and Planning for 5 years at Mt Buffalo and Ovens.

He spent a year travelling around Australia with his partner Chays before starting his real estate career back in 2005 working in Myrtleford and Bright and was an active sales professional until 2009. He then started working with Gapsted Wines where he worked for 10 years as an Account Area Manager travelling all over Victoria, Southern NSW and the ACT.

Ben decided to make the move back into Real Estate as he is genuinely excited about Real Estate and to be closer to his family and be able to spend more time with his children Ayla and Halen.

Ben is active within his community having played football for the Myrtleford Football Netball Club and plays for the Myrtleford Saints in the Country Basketball League. He is a committee member of the Myrtleford and District Basketball Association and Myrtleford Indoor Sports Stadium.

He loves living in the Myrtleford area and thinks it’s the perfect place to raise a family. The area is perfect for all outdoor pursuits and offers everything a family needs.
