Hi. I’m Ben Niehues IV.

I love God. I love people. I love life.

I’m an innovation architect based in downtown N Kansas City.

I grew up in Corning, Kansas; population 163. I studied at Kansas State University, where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems. My beautiful wife Hannah and I have two boys, Bernard (aka V) and Chancelor, and a lazy Pomeranian who only responds to the words treat and Yogi.

I’m currently working at CommunityAmerica Credit Union in the Innovation Lab as a front-end developer. We strive to improve the financial health of Kansas Citians through digital technology and innovation. I also work closely with local individuals and organizations on their digital projects.

My experience includes learning in both bootstrap and rapid growth start-ups, as well as the corporate environment. An investigative thinker with creative confidence, I enjoy working above the problem and making change happen.

I’m available as a freelance web developer and digital strategist. Get in touch.

With Dave Ramsey and his team, we partner with families in their journey toward financial peace! We help them achieve their financial goals by showing them how to eliminate debt, save for the future, and give like never before.

In the Innovation Lab at CommunityAmerica, we use principles of lean startup and innovation to rapidly bring products to market that provide peace of mind for our members. And if successful, help other credit unions deliver the same peace of mind to their members.
