Ben Wilson

I grew up in Massachusetts, attended college in Wisconsin then moved to Lake Minnetonka, MN to start a boat company. My life has since led me to Chicago, IL where I actively participate in startups, organized sports, and IT development. Competition seems to be my motivator, in college as Captain and Coach of my lacrosse team I led the 2007 2nd year team to an undefeated regular season. My boat company was involved with the highest sale price of a Riva Ariston wood boat (only 1 of 12 ever built) and an award winning restoration of a 1957 Chris Craft. I have driven, handled, and cared for handfuls of boats worth over $1 million USD. More recently in Chicago, IL, I was involved with the launching of a satellite sales office and have since ventured to a close friends company www.peterfieldcustom.com About once a week I receive a call for advice, input or some sort of oddball questions regarding sales, operations, boats, or strategy; I am happy to help any and all. Thank you for looking at my profile and feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.
