He then worked for 2GB as Direct Sales Manager and wrote in excess of $3 million in revenue for the stations in three and a half year period.

In 1995 Ben became involved in the Telecommunications industry and became Optus' largest mobile dealer within the first 18 months of business. This was the first involvement in his own business. His company is now one of Telstra MobileNet's largest and most successful dealers nationally, turning over approximately $12 million per annum.
