Over the past 18 years, Jon has directed his expertise toward the dental industry, where he has consistently placed accomplished executives across the nation for DSO’s, MSO’s, multi-location groups, manufacturers, distributors, and other healthcare related organizations. Throughout his career, Jon has demonstrated exceptional proficiency in recruiting, training, and cultivating award-winning employees and executives.

After growing up in Corpus Christi, Texas, Benjamin moved to Austin in 1991 and attended The University of Texas, falling in love with the city and people of the capital city. Dental school took him to San Antonio and the nation’s highest rated program at The University of Texas Health Science Center where he finished his residency and graduated in 1998. Benjamin returned to Austin and started the first of two dental practices, The Austin Center for Aesthetic Dentistry. In 2002, he founded his second practice, The Hills Dental Spa and watched them grow to multi-doctor and multi-million dollar businesses.

During his almost 20 years of practicing dentistry and managing dental practices, he experienced the frustrations of finding and hiring quality personnel. After retiring as a practitioner in 2017, he decided to help dentists and dental businesses have successful experiences in staffing and team building. Benjamin has always been driven to learn personally and professionally, and is thankful that Fidler & Associates allows him to continue to make positive, life-changing impacts for others.

Benjamin and his wife, Amie, live with their two dogs in the Texas hill country just west of Austin. When not working, he enjoys playing golf and helping his wife at her wine bar, Perspective Cellars, in Fredericksburg, Texas.
