Ben was born in southern California and moved to the Central Coast at age 11. He and his family fell in love with the area and his father was fortunate enough to get a transfer through Caltrans to the SLO office. The whole Kosharek family now lives in the North County and Ben loves the “go get it” entrepreneurial spirit.

His favorite street is Paso Robles street as you exit the 101. It’s the best sample of this area you can get and it showcases all the area has to offer. As you roll down that road, you see Mechanics, Wine makers, Cycle shops, Premiere Ag, a Church, and more. All these people make up what makes this area special. They are hard working, highly committed people who love their town and use what they’re good at to make it special. That’s what made Ben fall in love with this area.

Over the last 20 years, Ben has spent most of his time helping build the local church as a Associate/Worship Pastor and has fallen in love with communicating God's word in ways people can understand and apply. Ben and his wife Natasha live in San Miguel with their family of 4, two golden retrievers, and 3 cats.
