We're so excited to introduce our new team member Benjamin Gress! Ben will be our Energy Program Manager with our Community Services Team. Here's a little more about him in his own words. ?? "I live west of Mandan on a small ranch near Sweetbriar that I grew up on. My wife Trina and I have 4 sons, Ethan 23, Adam 21, Owen 19, and Anton 12. We have a cabin near Pick City that we like to go to when we have time and enjoy Lake Sakakawea both in the summer and winter. My hobbies are working on the ranch, traveling with my wife and anything that lets me be outdoors. This new job has been quite the change in direction from my past dealing with environmental compliance and the EPA, but I am coming up to speed with the Department of Energy requirements and am excited to oversee the rollout of these rebate programs. They will have a positive impact so many North Dakotans. I also appreciate the warm welcome from everyone at Commerce and look forward to building new relationships with my co-workers!" Welcome Ben! ??
