When his daughter married and settled here in San Diego, it also became his and Rebecca’s new home, too.

Though he didn’t finish college himself, he comes from an educated family and all of his children have degrees. Ben proudly says that he learned at a young age that “if you know a lot about something that is a little bit important, you can be successful.” He also said “when you learn the principles of business and understand the momentum in giving your word and putting others first, it comes back to you in a very large way. Therefore, this leads me to being grateful for the opportunity to serve with you in Rotary and create that momentum in life that is so important.”
