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. One example: I inherited a manual billing process that ate three hours a month and was full of errors. I automated it. Now it takes under ten minutes.
That's the direction I'm heading. I'm currently focused on data analysis, operations, and project management roles, and open to wellness management and program coordination as well. I'm based in the Twin Cities.
More on my path from wellness to operations. If you'd like to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
Ben Lee
