My name is Benjamin Vanhook and I am a native to Franklin, North Carolina.  As I have grown up here, I have seen many changes in my hometown. Franklin has evolved from a small town to a town that is now exploding with economic growth while retaining the small hometown feel of a tightly knit community.  Hard work and dedication have always been a part of my life.  I attended Franklin High School, graduating with a 4.1 GPA, while playing three sports.  I earned all-conference in football, and was privileged to be part of the only 3A Baseball State Championship team in Franklin High School history.  After graduating, I continued my education and sports career at Piedmont College, eventually transferring to Western Carolina University.  There I received a B.S. degree in Secondary Math Education and graduated cum laude.  I look forward to applying my hard work ethic and dedication to your real estate goals.
