Ben has been an Emergency Medical Technician for 17 years and a certified Law Enforcement Officer for 12 years. He is currently employed by Southeast Emergency Medical Services (SEEMS) of Monticello and is a part-time dispatcher for the Monticello Police Department.

” I have been so fortunate to have been raised in Monticello by my grandparents Harry and Flo Crossett. Throughout the years of living in Monticello I have seen the town grow and also take steps backwards. It is my intention to help get the city back on track to growth by doing what is best for the city and future generations to come. I feel the members of the city council must ask questions and listen to the citizens of their ward and then utilize that input as a group to improve things. That is what I intend to do, at least on my end.”
