Mark

Mark Benson is the Owner and Chief Operating Officer of Impact Service Group, a National HVAC Facilities Management firm located in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Raised in Queens NY, he has been in HVAC facility management business his entire life. Back in 1966 his family opened a company named Sure Air Ltd. which later went on to pioneer the concept of National HVAC service management for multi-location properties. As early as high school, he worked as a service coordinator in support of account managers at the company, learning the nuances involved in the national service arena.

Mark graduated from Ithaca College in 1992 with a degree in Cultural and Biological Anthropology. Rather than pursuing his passion to become the next Indiana Jones, he chose instead to join his family in the equally exciting world of HVAC. Starting with a position in the mailroom, he moved from station to station and trained in all departments within the company to garner a comprehensive understanding of the business from all angles. In time, he was ultimately tasked with managing the ongoing development and cultivation of the network of HVAC contractors to execute repairs and maintenances for a vast list of growing retail clientele. 

After Sure Air he teamed up with his lifelong friend and business peer, Richard Wetchler, whose father was also integral in the growth and success of the previous company. Together they opened Impact Service Group in 2002, to continue their passion in the field of national HVAC service management for multi-location commercial properties. 

For the past 23 years, Mark has run the contractor network at Impact Service Group, working with thousands of independent HVAC contractors across the nation. They have been able to record positive financial growth each year, all while maintaining their friendship and sharing a lot of laughs along the way. They are tremendous advocates for their customers, encourage a respectful working environment for their staff, and remain actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the company.

In his free time Mark enjoys spending time with his family and friends, playing golf and softball, reading a constant stream of novels, and torturing his children by making them watch his favorite movies from the 80’s.
