Hi, I'm Ben.
I've spent more than two decades helping people and organizations work better. I started as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor, then grew into leading wellness programs for larger communities. Most recently, I managed fitness and wellness operations at a senior living community in the Twin Cities, leading a team of four and building the systems that kept things running.
Along the way I learned that good programming is as much about operations as it is about exercise science. I like figuring out what people need, building something that works, and seeing it through. As an example, I inherited a manual billing process that took three hours a month and was full of errors. I automated it. And now it takes under ten minutes. That combination of figuring out what's broken and building the fix is what I want to keep doing.
I'm based in the Twin Cities, and I'm looking for work that combines process improvement, team leadership, and data-driven systems, whether that's in wellness management, operations, or data analysis.
If you'd like to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
Ben Lee
