Q&A with Ben Kenfield

I started at the University of Portland studying Biology as a pre-med student, transferred to Portland State University, then finished my bachelor’s degree at Oregon Institute of Technology in Business Operations Management. Originally, I wanted to be a dentist, but I soon realized that this was not the career path for me. Full credit (sorry for the pun) to the colleges I attended for allowing me to explore different classes and degree paths to find what was right for me.

My studies in marketing and sales management have fueled my passion and belief in the power of education. More than anything, I think my experiences in college helped me to be a more critical thinker. I want to know the “WHY” when things work, not just that they do. Understanding processes at a deeper level helps me to continually strive for even better results.

I love creating successful outcomes through teamwork. Seeing the real-world results of our work fills my tank and keeps me motivated.

Clients will appreciate our partnership as I strive to drive tangible results for them. I’m not happy until they’re happy, and then I’m not happy until the good results turn great.

Hiking, kayaking, reading, gaming, home-brewing, playing the saxophone, watching pro soccer, and amateur astronomy. Most weekends are busy with a combination of these endeavors combined with renovating our house and landscaping.
