Benjamin Hernandez
BENJAMIN HERNANDEZ

FOUNDER AND CEO

Benjamin is a once-undocumented-millennial-immigrant that’s tired of the system. He has a BA and MBA from Rice University and was the Chief Financial Officer for the Houston Health Department. He quit his job to run for office in 2018 because he believes that we need to focus on people and communities instead of political parties. He founded Human Age Digital to help people-focused small campaigns reach digital audiences. He has extensive experience in digital acquisition, digital persuasion, and digital advertising strategy.
