Bio
Bill Spohn, P.E.
Ben is one of the most unique persons I have met in my whole career. He is very intelligent, very articulate, meets all his promises, and seeks answers to his questions leaving no resource unexamined. On top of all that, he is kind, enthusiastic, easy going and passionate about his work. He also gets personally involved in using some of the tech he develops in own home along with other automations. If you’re looking at working with someone with his qualifications, take a close at Ben. Even if you don’t hire him, you’ll learn something from the conversation.

Ben and I collaborated on several projects between Haven and HVAC 2.0. I was impressed by his emotional intelligence in addition to his productivity and raw smarts. Ben quickly makes connections between complex technical concepts as well as between people. He's a great team leader, I got to watch him on a number of meetings with other members of his team. Ben drives hard for excellence while juggling multiple projects. Any company would be lucky to have him. I look forward to working together with him again!
Stephanie Krause
Ben is one of those people you love to work with because he has the ability to amplify those around him, driving excellence through simply leading by example. In the 4 years that we worked together at SAIT, his ingenuity and incredible work ethic continuously inspired his teammates (myself included) to aim higher, both in the solutions we delivered and in the way that we worked together. I could go on at length about how Ben could run a Masterclass in Time Management. His ability to juggle multiple (and often competing) priorities while continually delivering expectation-defying results is nothing short of jaw-dropping; but what I really appreciate about Ben is the way he leads with empathy. Whether working with customers or team members, Ben looks beyond tools and technology to find the human challenges at the heart of each problem, leveraging his exemplary communication skills to get everyone on the same page and collaboratively working towards a solution. I would work with Ben again in a heartbeat. If you ever have the opportunity to hire him, do it. You’ll be glad you did.
