Ben Slayman

Certified Flight Instructor with a strong safety mindset and experience teaching complex concepts, currently working in the Whole Foods Market bakery, where I provide dependable service in a fast-paced, team environment. I bring a solid work ethic from hands-on roles as a stable hand and quick-lube technician, where I developed outdoor resilience and basic mechanical skills. I’ve also participated in short-term mission trips to Africa and the Dominican Republic, where I helped build schools and fences, worked with children, and supported local communities, further reinforcing my commitment to service and teamwork. Public lands have been a foundational part of my life—through mountain biking, climbing, and backpacking, I’ve found growth, peace, and connection in nature. I’m passionate about giving back by helping protect these spaces, and sharing their value with others through education, stewardship, and public service.
