About Ben and How He Ended Up in Nashville
John Haggard: 00:36 Glad to have you here. We do understand there’s a special event coming up, which we are going to be talking about for this Sunday, September 22 but before we get to that, we always like to learn a little bit about the people behind the scenes. Tell us a little bit about you, like where did you grow up, for example?
Ben Harvey: 00:50 I grew up in a little town called Port St. John, Florida. If you don’t know where that is, that’s a little bit about 20 minutes east of our Orlando, Florida. So I basically tell people, if you take Orlando, go about 20 minutes from Disney world and you’re right there in my hometown.
John Haggard: 01:08 All right. 20 away. 20 minutes away. And so how long have you been up in this area?
Ben Harvey: 01:13 I’ve been here two years.
John Haggard: 01:15 Two years. Okay. So what got you to Nashville?
Ben Harvey: 01:17 Miracle Chrysler got me to Nashville.
John Haggard: 01:19 All right. So they were searching around and of all the people throughout the US and they found you?
Ben Harvey: 01:24 Yep. I I used to work with the, our service director, Robert Fleites. He talked to me and offered me you know, a job and I said, why not? You know, I’d love to, I’d love to check out Tennessee. And he told me how great Tim Galvin was. So I decided to move up here.
John Haggard: 01:39 You know, sometimes jobs really are about relationships, aren’t they? I mean, it beats going onto the Internet and competing with, you know, 5,000 people with resumes. Sometimes. It really is who you know and not what you know.
Ben Harvey: 01:50 Yes sir. I 100% agree.
John Haggard: 01:51 But I bet you know a lot. So I guess you went to High School in Florida as well?
Ben Harvey: 01:58 Yep. I went to Space Coast High School.
John Haggard: 02:00 Yeah. So was there anything special about that school in terms of you know, space industry or, cause sometimes Florida is known for high tech and space industry and just wondered about that.
Ben Harvey: 02:11 Oh, we just had a very good community basis about that high school. It was that you felt like you’re in a big family rather than actually go into school.
John Haggard: 02:18 Didn’t specialize in anything?
Ben Harvey: 02:20 No Sir.
John Haggard: 02:21 Okay. So do you have family in this area as well Ben?
Ben Harvey: 02:25 No, I do not. All my family’s back in my home town.
