Meet The Team: Ben Fulton

We concluded our Meet the Team series some time ago, but since then we’ve had the privilege of adding a few new faces to the team. Each week we’ll be introducing one of our new CDFL employees, or as we like to think of ourselves, the “us” in the Power of Plus. This week we are proud to introduce mechanical engineer Ben Fulton.

What do you do at CDFL?

I am the new head of CDFL’s mechanical department.

What exciting thing are you working on right now?

I’m pretty much just diving right into everything going on at CDFL. Outside of the office, though, I just got married a couple of weeks ago – so I would say that’s the most exciting thing going on with me right now!

What do you spend the most time doing outside of work?

I spend most of my time outside of work with my wife. We enjoy spending time with our family and friends, watching college football, and hunting.

How long have you been in the profession?

I have been in mechanical engineering design with the same firm since I graduated from Mississippi State in December 2001. I look forward to the new challenges and opportunities as I move forward with my career at CDFL.

What is your favorite lunch spot in the neighborhood?

I would have to say Sal and Mookie’s. There are quite a few others that I have heard about and look forward to being able to try.

What new thing is happening in your field?

I think the biggest change lately is the focus on energy efficiency. Across all disciplines, there has been an increased focus on all of a building’s systems working together to produce the most energy efficient designs possible. This has led to major changes in the design thought process over the past few years.

What’s your favorite TV show?

Favorite show would be the Blacklist; gotta love some Raymond Reddington.
