Team
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
President and Board Chairperson
Ben Bauermeister
A serial entrepreneur tech-guy with a strong footing in graphical arts, 3-dimensional design, typography, print production, and music. He also loves to solve problems. He and Martha Trolin started Skillmation and its parent organization, StrongerTowns, to help strengthen the social fabric of Jefferson County. Ben likes to warm his hands by the friction that is created when technology and good deeds rub together.
