Ben McCord
Director
Born and raised in Fort St. John, I am deeply passionate about this community and the people who make it thrive. Growing up on a farm just north of town, I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and community at an early age—lessons that continue to shape both my personal and professional life today. Surrounded by the outdoors and a strong sense of responsibility, I developed a lasting appreciation for entrepreneurship and local business.
I have strong ties throughout Fort St. John and am proud to be actively involved in many sports clubs across the city. Sports have always been a meaningful way for me to connect with people, build relationships, and stay engaged with our community beyond business.
Professionally, I come from a family deeply rooted in real estate, and after spending years working in the oil and gas sector, I made the transition to becoming a REALTOR® in my hometown. Helping individuals, families, and investors navigate the real estate market is more than a career for me—it’s a way to contribute to the long-term strength and stability of our region.
I am also the founder of EnergyNexus, a Fort St. John–based entrepreneurs group created to bring local business owners, innovators, and entrepreneurs together. EnergyNexus is a place to network, share ideas, trade knowledge, and grow—because I strongly believe that when we support one another, our entire business community benefits.
As a member of the Board of Directors for the Fort St. John Chamber of Commerce, I am excited to advocate for local businesses, champion entrepreneurship, and help spearhead business growth in the region. I look forward to bringing fresh ideas, practical insight, and a strong community-focused perspective to support the Chamber’s mission and help Fort St. John continue to grow and prosper well into the future.
