Ben Allen is a Financial Advisor based in the Dublin office of Bluespring Wealth – River Valley. He leads clients through financial planning and investment strategy conversations that bring together their dreams, values, and financial and non-financial goals in a comprehensive plan built around them. Ben believes the industry leans too heavily on jargon, so he takes time to break down complex financial concepts in ways every client can understand.
Ben joined Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers as an insurance and risk advisor before moving fully into wealth management. Alongside his work as a Financial Advisor, he served for more than 12 years as a director with Young Life, a nonprofit ministry. He has the heart of a teacher and a genuine love of learning, and he uses both to educate, equip, and encourage his clients so they can feel confident about their financial future.
Ben earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from West Virginia University and a Master of Arts in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary. He also holds the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation from The American College of Financial Services.
Ben and his wife, Liz, have been married for nearly 20 years and have four boys. He enjoys fishing, riding bikes, and volunteering as a youth lacrosse coach with Dublin Youth Athletics. His family has deep roots in Dublin: his great-grandfather played on the 1927 Dublin High School basketball team as a freshman, and a century later, Ben’s own son will start as a freshman at Dublin Coffman High School. Film studies was one of his favorite classes in high school, and he can still recall an impressive amount of movie trivia. It pays off at family board game nights, and on trivia teams he’s the one who gets handed the Entertainment category.
