A lifelong civil and environmental engineer, “Ben” worked as a project engineer and project manager at the Beavin Company since its founding in 1955 by his father, Benjamin Everett Beavin, Sr.  He became senior partner in 1972.

One of his favorite vacation spots was Alaska, where he and wife Corrine took their first helicopter ride.

Community and family life were very important to Ben.  He worshiped at St. John Lutheran Church, participated in the local Elementary School PTA and was a member of the Anne Arundel Historical Society.
