J. Ben Wilker

Founder and principal architect at Wilker Design Co.

Ben hails from a lineage of builders and engineers, so the construction world is in his blood.

When he's not at his desk, you'll find him hammering away at home projects with his wife and three young daughters in SE North Carolina, where they embrace the homestead life and soak up the sun at the local beaches.

Licensed Architect + General Contractor + Incremental, Small-scale Developer

Ben initially launched Wilker Design Co. as a high-end visualization studio providing compelling 3D renderings.

M Arch + B.S Arch from the College of Design, Art, Architecture and Planning (DAAP) at the University of Cincinnati (Ohio).

Ben's first entrepreneurial venture was a landscape design-build company that contracted with Homesteading & Urban Redevelopment Corp. (HURC).

HURC has transformed 700+ dilapidated homes into safe and affordable housing that beautifies and stabilizes at-risk communities throughout the Cincinnati region.
