Thankfully Ben is willing to share his experience from his time of leaving military life to present. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the right moves and what he would have done differently. Use other people's experiences to help set your path.

Benjamin has great insight in the wine industry. I appreciate his efforts to make our call happen when our connection was not the best. H was helpful with the ideas that I bounced off him and eager to help me look at new prospectives.
