Ben's Story
I'm now living in Escondido, California, a suburb of San Diego. I'm the Director of Product Management at Mitchell1, a division of Snap-on Tools. I'm responsible for our product line which includes a Repair Information System, shop management system, estimating system and CRM products as well as new business development. I'm Past President of ETI (Equipment & Tools Institute) and former chairman of the Electronic Standards committee for the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association.

ustry Association for 2, then joined Delphi in their aftermarket division. I got my bachelor's degree at Northwood University, left Delphi after 6 1/2 years in 2009 to come to California and work for Mitchell1. I was married in October 1998 and have two great kids born 2002 and 2005. I lost my wife to breast cancer in 2011 but was lucky enough to find someone to fall in love with again, and she has a great daughter who is the same age range as my son. We got married in April 2014. I still love cars, motorcycles and boats. Out here I get to enjoy them all. It's been quite a ride! My mom is still in Rockledge (I lost my dad to cancer in 2011) and I get there from time to time. Would love to catch up with some old RHS pals sometime when I'm in town!
