Meet Ben! Born and raised in Navan, Ben Lawlor continues to call the community home, living just outside the village with his fiancé and their dog, Rocket. Ben currently works as a journeyman electrician while also serving the community as a volunteer firefighter with Station 71 in Navan.
Ben has always maintained a strong connection to the agricultural community. At just 12 years old, he began working on a local dairy farm, helping clean the milking room and robotic systems. Over the years, he also became involved in local 4-H beef shows alongside friends, raised chickens in his father’s backyard right in the village, and today continues to farm with his fiancé’s family. Together, they produce hay and have raised draft horses, beef cattle, and turkeys.
Deeply rooted in the local community, Ben also stays active year-round through hockey, curling, and three-pitch softball, all activities that keep him connected to the people and spirit of Navan.
