Ben believes in what ASID stands for—raising the standard of the design community and building real relationships between the people who design, build, and execute these projects.

As the owner of a demolition company focused on high-end residential work, he is in the field every day working alongside designers, contractors, and clients. He sees where projects succeed and where they break down—usually in communication, expectations, or execution. That gives him a practical, real-world perspective that is valuable to the board.

He also cares about strengthening the relationship between designers and trade partners. When those relationships are strong, projects run smoother, clients are happier, and the end product is better. His goal is to help create more opportunities for that kind of collaboration within the Chapter.
