Ben grew up with little awareness of the environmental problems surrounding his community and nation. After studying general business and marketing, Ben began work in the “real world” with a packaging manufacturing company providing marketing and sales expertise. Through packaging trade shows and conferences Ben began to realize how an industry that creates so much waste is doing so little to preserve the environment. This realization and the harsh reality of global warming forced Ben to take action into his own hands. He developed an interest in biodiesel and SVO and eventually his research led him to Sundays Energy, where he began volunteering and attending classes. Sundays Energy was the perfect fit for Ben because of its focus not only on the environment but also on the community.
