TIGERVILLE, S.C. (courtesy ngu.edu) — North Greenville University’s College of Business and Entrepreneurship hosted its 8th annual Faith at Work Business Symposium on March 18 in Turner Chapel. The event featured lectures from Joe Gibbs Racing President Dave Alpern and former professional baseball players David and Jason Benham.
Alpern began his career with Joe Gibbs Racing in 1993 as an unpaid intern. Since then, he has held nearly every position in the front office, including overseeing consumer products, communications, and sponsorships before being named team president in 2015. Joe Gibbs Racing has seen major success during Alpern’s tenure, winning NASCAR championships in 2000, 2002, 2005, 2015, and 2019.
Alpern is also a published author, releasing “Taking the Lead-Winning Business Principles that Fuel Joe Gibbs Racing” in 2022.
“Dave Alpern lives out his dynamic Christian faith every day,” Duncan said. “He leads a team of more than 600 people at Joe Gibbs Racing, one of the most successful teams in NASCAR history.”
David and Jason Benham have found success on and off the baseball diamond.
The brothers’ umbrella company, Benham Companies, was built to provide value in multiple spheres of the marketplace, including real estate management/sales, business consulting, tax planning, technology resource development, social entrepreneur creation, movie production, and global efficiency development.
David and Jason serve as co-chairs and founders of the Benham Foundation and Cities4Life, where their commitment to helping others continues through pro-life ministry, human-trafficking prevention, and caring for widows, orphans, and the poor. They also pioneered a new missions concept called “Missioneering,” which creates self-sustaining revenue models for overseas missions.
