Graduating from the University of Montevallo in Alabama, Benny has always had a desire to help others. He has been in the healthcare industry for 9 years, and has been in the service industry for 16 years.

Continuing service to seniors, he then started Heavenly Care Moving Services, Inc. in 2005. Since then, both businesses have grown substantially due to the quality care he and his team provide to their clients.
