 ABOUT Our Speaker

Ben Nichols is the President & CEO of Harkins Builders, a 100% employee-owned construction management company headquartered in Columbia, Maryland. In his role, he leads the company’s strategic growth while keeping people, relationships, and community impact at the center of its mission.

Ben is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and served in the U.S. Marine Corps as a combat engineer officer, leading construction and engineering missions across the U.S. and abroad, including Afghanistan. He has carried the lessons of service, discipline, and teamwork from the Marines into his leadership in business. 
Beyond his professional work, Ben is deeply committed to faith, family, and community. He and his wife have been married for 10 years and are raising four children: Drew (9), Graham (7), Shane (5), and Brynn (4). Their family is very actively involved with their church in Ellicott City.

Ben is a member of a CBMC Trusted Advisor Forum and has seen firsthand the value of connecting faith and business through CBMC. He is also engaged with several boards and organizations, including the USO Mid-Atlantic, the Society of American Military Engineers, and the Harkins Foundation. 
 
Ben has been recognized as a rising leader in the construction industry, but what matters most to him is living out his faith as a husband, father, and business leader. At this CBMC breakfast, Ben will share his personal testimony and encourage others to consider how walking with Christ will equip them for life in the marketplace.
