About Ben Leman
From homeland to heartland—epic stories of courage, legacy, and the making of a new world.
Ben Leman is a businessman, rancher, and fourth-generation Texan whose appetite for adventure has carried him from the remote wilderness of Alaska to elk hunts in the mountain West and travels across the globe. A licensed pilot and lifelong explorer, Ben is of proud Scottish descent and has spent years studying the fierce clashes between Highland clans—research that inspired the heart of his debut novel, Between the Tines. His pursuit of authenticity has taken him to many of the very locations in Scotland featured in the book.
Guided by a deep love of country and community, Ben also served the public as both a County Judge and a State Representative in Texas—an experience that honed the political insight and sense of duty interwoven throughout his upcoming trilogy.
Ben’s entrepreneurial journey began in 1997 when he co-founded an oil and gas equipment manufacturing company out of his mother’s garage. As CEO, he led the business through remarkable growth before transitioning to a decade of public service. Later, he returned to the private sector to launch another successful manufacturing venture.
Today, Ben and his wife live on their family ranch in Central Texas, where they’re raising four children and a herd of dreams.
