Ben leads aviation operations and operator partnerships at Hangar 44, ensuring every flight is matched with the right aircraft, the right crew, and the right standards.

A Marine Corps aviator with twenty years of service, Ben flew the AH-1 attack helicopter and served as a Weapons and Tactics Instructor — one of the most demanding qualifications in military aviation. As Operations Officer of his last command, he directed training, readiness, and international partnerships for a 5,000+ member organization across more than 100 annual exercises and ten partner nations.

A graduate of Bates College and a member of Sleepy Hollow Country Club, Ben brings to Hangar 44 the precision and quiet competence of military aviation — translated into a private network context where every flight is one members trust will be done correctly, every time.
