Benjamin Zolman, Council Member

Ben Zolman Hampstead Town Council member is committed to the town he and his family proudly call home. Elected in May 2021, Ben has spent the past four years bringing his strong family values, unique experience, and fresh perspective to local governance. His passion for Hampstead began in 2015 when he and his wife, Jenny, first attended church in the community. Drawn to the town’s charm and welcoming spirit, the couple moved to Hampstead in the fall of 2019 with their three daughters, Lilly, Ruby, and Amy. Beyond his role on the Town Council, Ben serves in both his church and as a Navy Reserve officer. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Construction Engineering and Management (2012) and a Master of Science in Civil Engineering (2014) from Virginia Tech. Professionally, he serves as the lead estimator of Tenant Improvements for St. John Properties in Windsor Mill, MD. During his tenure, Ben has had the privilege of overseeing Hampstead’s water system, a responsibility he has greatly valued. He appreciates the hard work and dedication of the Town’s exceptional staff, who went above and beyond to support his family while he was deployed for nearly a year. That experience reinforced his belief that taking care of Hampstead’s families is at the heart of everything the town staff and council do. Looking ahead, he is excited to be part of the team guiding the Water System Centralization and Modernization Project, ensuring the town’s infrastructure remains reliable and sustainable for future generations. As he seeks another term, Ben remains committed to working for the people of Hampstead, ensuring the town continues to thrive.

         His term expires in May 2029.
