MEET OUR FOUNDER

James A. Benford, Chief Executive Officer


James leads every project at Benford Advisory. He brings 8 years of hands-on drafting and design in AutoCAD, Revit, SolidWorks, and Bluebeam, and experience on multi-million-dollar projects, so he understands how a drawing or estimate affects cost and schedule in the field.

He also brings a background in cybersecurity, with a certificate from UT Austin and CompTIA Security+ in progress, which is why protecting client plans and bid data is built into how we work.
