As an Agribusiness Relationship Manager Advisor at FNBO, Ben partners with agricultural businesses, serving as their main point of contact to all the bank has to offer. Providing strategic advice on financial planning, as well as growth and risk strategies, Ben helps his customers meet business challenges to succeed in any market. 

Credentials

Ben brings a wealth of banking knowledge to his agribusiness customers. Prior to joining FNBO, he performed loan underwriting for a large portfolio of farmers cooperatives and ethanol plants. Taking his expanded knowledge in a new direction, he later transitioned to a role as a Senior Portfolio Manager on FNBO’s global banking team. Here, he provided oversight of commercial foreign currency needs, completing FX trades and helping his customers navigate the waters of international finance. 

Ben attended the University of Nebraska at Lincoln where he earned a bachelor’s in business administration.

Passions

When he’s not working with agribusiness clients, Ben enjoys spending time outdoors, often with a golf club in hand. Pheasant hunting with friends, family and his four British labs is another hobby that allows him to get outside and enjoy time with those who matter most. A passionate sports fan, Ben rarely misses a chance to catch a game, whether he’s attending live or watching with loved ones gathered around the T.V. Ben also places a high value on supporting his community, volunteering at the Open Door Mission and for Habitat for Humanity.
