Ben Franklin, BA, MRE
Billing Services Manager

Ben brings a myriad of skills and experience to us, coupled with a kind and gentle demeanor: social worker, pastor and administrator, and our residents have been the benefactors of it all during his work as resident lodge advisor.  Ben will continue to extend his kindness and gentle nature in his new job in the office administration and billing for all CooperRiis related services.  His love of family and people in general fosters good relationships wherever he goes.  We are so fortunate to have him here at CooperRiis.

A lover of the outdoors, Ben finds solitude in camping, hiking, kayaking or biking.  He is very much a people person and thoroughly enjoys the company of friends and family. He has two adult children.

Ben earned a Master of Religious Education from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas and a BA degree from Furman University in SC.
