Ben Embir

Senior Design Manager

Phone: 905-378-4647 Ext. 57993

Email: Ben.Embir@niagarahealth.on.ca

Alter ego:  Batman

About me:  Ben enjoys cooking and baking. You will often find him watching cooking shows on TV and then experimenting in the kitchen with odd combinations of ingredients.  In his early 20’s I was a contestant on a cooking/dating game show, although his secret ambition is to one day be a contestant on the Netflix reality bake-off competition – ‘Nailed It’ - where amateur bakers compete to replicate complicated cakes and confectioneries.
Ben is fascinated with learning about how the world works and understanding different dimensions of the human psyche.  His favourite authors are Esther Perel, Malcolm Gladwell, Eckhart Tolle and Viktor Frankl.  When he's not working you will often find him attempting DIY projects that are well beyond his abilities, mostly because he comes from a family that believes in attempting to do it yourself before you hire a contractor.
