About Ben
Neighbor. Dad. Planning Commission Chair.

My wife Heather and I live in Victoria near the rec center with our two kids, Elin and Beckett. We're regular users of everything this city has to offer — the trails, the rec center, the parks, the lake, and downtown.

I've spent more than 15 years as a finance executive, including as CFO for multiple companies, and I hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance, both Summa Cum Laude, from the University of San Diego.

I currently chair Victoria's Planning Commission. In February 2026, I proposed a financing solution for downtown parking that the City ultimately adopted. I know how to read the fine print, ask the right questions, and turn ideas into real results for Victoria.

What I'll Push For
Five Promises. Five Proofs.
1
Fix Downtown Parking
A real deadline, a clear public rulebook for shared parking, and every dollar spelled out plainly.
2
Let Residents Speak
A real voice on the decisions that actually matter, not just other topics.
3
End Closed-Door Consensus Building
Big decisions belong in the public meeting, not shaped before it starts.
4
Name the Funding Source
Every development deal should say, in public, exactly where the money comes from.
5
Track Every Subsidy
One public report every year, including water and sewer money used for the wrong thing.
Want the full story?
Every promise here is backed by the City's own public records.
