94. Building Homes And Creating More Educational Opportunities For Kids In The Construction Industry - With Ben Beard, Owner Of Red Cliff Homes

In this episode of The Real Build, I spoke with Ben Beard, owner of Red Cliff Homes.  Ben is a production home builder in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  He specializes in homes that exceed client's expectations without exceeding their budget.  Ben is also committed to bringing technical education to Las Cruces high schools. Red Cliff Homes seeks to bring technical education to young people to leave high school equipped with the skills they need to get high-paying jobs in construction and other technical, hands-on career fields.  This was a big point Ben and I talked about.  There is a lack of labor in the construction industry.  Now it is more important than ever to get construction education back into schools.

Ben got involved with residential building as a high school student, where he took classes in general construction and electrical wiring. He then worked at a plumbing supply shop and as a framer before leaving on a 2-year proselyting mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  Upon returning from missionary service, He attended Brigham Young University and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Construction Management while working part-time to gain industry experience.  After graduating in 2012, he moved to Las Cruces, where he worked as a Superintendent and Purchasing Manager for a local builder.

In 2017 he launched Red Cliff Homes with a dream to serve the Las Cruces community.
