As a tenured ESS employee of nearly 10 years, Fred Bensten, Vice President of Business Development, proudly partners with school districts across Oklahoma and Texas to ensure they have the staffing resources required to deliver an exceptional education to students every day.
Fred has been a major contributor to the growth of ESS partnerships in the South Central region and has seen firsthand school district satisfaction with our quality substitute training program.
