About Ben

With seven years of experience in real estate, and a lifelong passion for homes, I specialize in residential, rural and lake properties. Growing up in the Brainerd Lakes Area, I discovered my love for real estate as a teenager, poring over each new Homes Plus Magazine. That early fascination became my professional calling. Now, I reside in and service the Willmar Lakes Area and beyond.

My values—integrity, authenticity, and gratitude—shape every client relationship. Before becoming a Realtor, I spent 25 years in the hospitality industry, honing my ability to serve others, understand their needs, and deliver exceptional experiences. It’s been a natural transition to real estate.

Motivated by my family and faith, I cherish time with my kids, enjoy soaking up the sun, and hit the golf course (albeit poorly) whenever I can.

Among the most rewarding part of my work is helping first-time buyers achieve their ownership dream, assisting investors in building wealth, and guiding families into the home they’ve always dreamed of.
Whether you're buying or selling, I'm here to guide you every step of the way with dedication and care!
