Ben is a familiar face at Stewardship Advisors, as he previously worked as our Marketing Intern during Summer 2020. Ben shared that he admires Stewardship Advisor’s ethical approach to financial planning and wanted to return to be a part of their exceptional culture and service. “I have studied the intersection between business and ethics at Messiah, and I am grateful to be able to intern at a company that provides comprehensive, holistic, and unbiased advice to their clients. It is a great fit.”
Born and raised in York County, Ben attended Dallastown Area High School and is a member of Aldersgate Church, where he attends with his family.

Ben’s faith has been an important part of his life and he is thankful for his family for planting the seed of Christian beliefs and ministry. He is thankful for his family’s guidance and his Dad for sparking his interest in finance.
Prior to joining Stewardship Advisors, LLC, Ben started and operated his Landscaping business, Writer Lawn Care. During its peak, Writer Lawn Care serviced 25 weekly lawn mowing clients and over 30 annual landscaping jobs. Running his business allowed Ben to gain meaningful experience in maintaining client relationships, financial records, Facebook business pages, and executing a high standard of business operations.

He is looking forward to contributing to Stewardship Advisor’s business during summer 2021.
