Ben Koshkin graduated from Lamar University in 1967 with a BBA in marketing and economics and received an MBA in finance and industrial relations from the University of Michigan in 1969.

Mr. Koshkin has worked in real estate for over four decades and has brokered over one billion dollars in land sales. He owned and operated one of the most extensive home repair operations in Houston during the late 1980s and started his first land development business forty-two years ago. Previously, he taught evening real estate courses at Houston Community College, yet his body of work extends far beyond Houston’s city limits.

Currently, Mr. Koshkin consults on land development in the Houston area and is involved with numerous service and charitable organizations. He has served on various committees for the Houston Association of Realtors, the City of Houston (Mayor’s Committee on Americans with Disabilities Act), and Habitat for Humanity, as well as serving as chairman of Service Organization Benefiting Recovery, director of various Municipal Utility Districts and homeowners’ associations, and president of the Houston Executives Breakfast Club.

Mr. Koshkin and his wife, Sheri, still reside in the Houston area. When not working or serving in his areas of expertise, he spends time with his family and long-time friends.
