Ben has cultivated a distinguished career in the nonprofit industry spanning over four decades, with a specialized focus on developing fundraising campaigns and charity golf events. His comprehensive experience encompasses a successful broadcast career in film and television, televised charity golf tournaments, and a national charity golf series, as well as creating development donor pipelines for nonprofit partners. Ben has notably worked alongside Jack and Barbara Nicklaus in a nationwide fundraising campaign called Play Yellow and has managed nonprofit partner relationships with Disney and the PGA TOUR.

Ben's dedication to enhancing the outcomes for donors, nonprofit executives, and gala and golf tournament event managers is evident in his approach. He excels in creating innovative strategies that lead to successful outcomes. His creative foresight has significantly benefited numerous nonprofit organizations while raising millions of dollars in the process.

Outside of his professional commitments, Ben enjoys playing golf, growing a vegetable garden, honing his culinary skills, and spending quality time with his wife, Amy, and their four daughters.

“I enjoy working with Children’s Health Foundation, which raises critical funds for the children’s hospital in Oklahoma. We have supported over a dozen local fundraising events that benefit the hospital directly, and these timely funds make a difference in the lives of children and their families. I love that DNF supports the doctors, nurses, technicians, and other specialists who provide 24/7 protection to sick and injured children no matter the illness or injury, especially in Oklahoma. I can smile knowing our efforts to provide pure fundraising, with 100% of the donation going where and to who it matters most, is changing lives. “
