BEN WHEELER - CONSTRUCTION SUPERINTENDENT
Born in Portland, and raised in Estacada all my life except for the five years at the best college in Oregon, OSU, where I graduated with a degree in business. I have been married since August 18th, 2007 to my lovely wife Brooke. She also grew up in Estacada, and we have been friends with each other since kindergarten. We just had our first baby, Henry Robert (better known as Hank) on January 4th, 2010. We also have a baby girl, but she has four legs - her name is Gretta. She is an English Bulldog and is a total ham. Both Brooke and I are very involved in the local area. I have served on the Estacada City Council since January 2009. We both serve on the budget committee and the urban renewal board of director's for the city. It has been a great experience so far, but in the near future we are going to build our second Adair Home (due to start February 2010). When I had spare time (prior to Hank and everything else) I liked to take advantage of my close proximity to the Mt Hood National Forest and ride my snowmobile, four wheeler, go hunting (both archery and rifle) and try to catch fish in the nearby rivers.
