Account Manager

“We
got to know Kris while we were building our award-winning Buccaneer Bay
for Exploria Resorts in Orlando,” said Phil Wilson, EVP of Marketing for
the world’s largest supplier of patented zip lines, climbing walls and
adventure products for the amusement and resort industries. “Initially
Kris will concentrate on business development in the fertile market of
resorts located in Florida and Orlando.”
“I fell in love with Extreme
Engineering, its vision and its people when they were on site in Summer
Bay,” said Kris, who was then Parks Operation Director at the resort. “I
learned about the quality and safety of their equipment and the endless
possibilities for incorporating its use at timeshare and other resorts.”
Kris Benken, who “grew up
in the resort business,” got his start as an activities director and progressed
from managing rock walls and climbing apparatus to the Operations side
of the business. After 13 years he developed a thorough understanding of
resort management’s needs and concerns and is ready to show them how adventure
sports attractions can re-engage owners and guests, particularly those
who are classified as millennials. Based in Florida for the Sacramento
California company, Kris will report directly to Bob Craycraft, EVP of
Resorts for Extreme Engineering.
