Ben Coale has been the managing partner/owner of Playmaker Embroidery, LLC since July 1, 2013. Before taking over at Playmaker, Ben was a science teacher and football coach. He enjoys applying things learned in that profession to his business today. The practice of developing and working with a team has been significant in putting together the fantastic staff at Playmaker. Owning a small business makes a person part of the community and Ben deals with many local businesses, schools, non-profits, and churches. He truly enjoys the personal relationships he develops with his customers and he prides himself in being customer-focused. When Ben is not working, you will find him spending time with his wife, Olivia, and his son, Webb. He hopes to teach Webb aspects of owning a small business such as problem-solving and work ethic. On many days, you may see a cute little red-headed boy “working” with his Daddy.
