Ben is an Investment Research Staff member at Waggoner, where he focuses on supporting the firm’s research and analysis firm's investment strategies. Known for his innovative thinking and curiosity about markets and the companies that drive them, Ben combines financial insight with a strategic view on a company's products and positioning in the market, helping the team identify opportunities and make informed decisions. He earned his degree in Finance from Michigan State University, giving him a strong foundation in both technical analysis and strategic thinking.
Since returning to Waggoner, Ben has brought with him a well-rounded professional background — having been a part of Waggoner's inaugural intern class before going on to hone his analytical skills in business valuation at KPMG.

Outside of work, Ben enjoys golf, skiing, traveling, basketball, and exploring new cuisines — bringing the same curiosity and enthusiasm to life outside the office as he does to his work.
