Originally from LaMoure, ND, Ben is a graduate of the University of Jamestown, with degrees in Business Administration and Management Information Systems. Ben joined FCCU in 2013 and having held various roles has gained a wide variety of experience. In 2020, he was named the Wahpeton and Hankinson Branch Manager. “One of my favorite parts of my job is getting the opportunity to work hands-on with our ag or business members to help them be successful or achieve their goals, whether it is someone looking to expand their operation or it is a beginning farmer or new business,” says Ben. “Many of my days are spent visiting with members in person or on the phone, and it is a great pleasure to develop those relationships.” When Ben isn’t working, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and quiet days at home with his wife and two kids.
