Benny graduated from Virginia Tech with a degree in Consumer Studies from the Pamplin College of Business where he learned to prioritize the consumer’s perspective and preferences while effectively developing products and services that address the consumer’s specific needs and concerns. A natural athlete, Benny played on a variety of intramural teams and helped lead no less than 10 of them to championship victories. Additionally, Benny was an active leader in his campus ministry, Cru as well as a volunteer leader for multiple youth ministries in his local church.

Through these ministries Benny gained valuable leadership experience in mentorship and community building and is grateful for the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the next generation. While in Roanoke, he will be working with The Branch Group where he will be aiding the preconstruction and business development side of the company.

Benny hopes this experience will help him refine his passions and desires for a career path where he is serving others to the best of his ability.
