Ben grew up in the Central Valley of California. His commitment and passion for Wildlife Conservation led him to pursue a degree in Zoology at UC Santa Barbara, where he studied ecology, evolution, and marine biology. In his role at Brighten, Ben is working behind the scenes to ensure the process of getting our customers solarized is as smooth as possible. Ben loves connecting with people, excel spreadsheets, and doing his part for environmental conservation. On the weekends you’ll find him at the beach teaching his wife and two daughters about marine species and their habitats.
