Ben Morris
Founder and CEO of FuelFox
Ben Morris is the founder and CEO of FuelFox, an app-based on-site fuel delivery service that allows consumers to avoid gas stations. Ben recognized that we have a problem in this country that has not been addressed since the first gas station opened in 1913. Gas stations are a very unpleasant experience—they waste time, are inconvenient, unsafe, unclean, and unhealthy. With a wife, three children and a busy lifestyle, Ben created FuelFox to solve the problems associated with gas stations. Prior to FuelFox, Ben was a partner with Starnes Davis Florie LLP for fifteen years specializing in complex civil litigation with significant experience in healthcare litigation, long-term care and nursing home litigation, professional liability, environmental litigation, product liability, pharmaceutical liability, business litigation, and other complex litigations for various national companies. With Ben’s diverse background in various career fields such as litigation and logistics along with his passion for entrepreneurship, Ben was able to eliminate the gas station problems. The company’s roots are grounded in safety, efficiency, excellent customer service and friendliness as Ben is a man who has always enjoyed helping people. Formerly serving on community placements such as Mountain Brook Municipal Court Supernumerary Judge, Children’s Hospital’s Committee for the Future, Birmingham Athletic Partnership, Monday Morning Quarterback Club, The Exceptional Foundation and Community Adviser for the Junior League of Birmingham, Ben is continuously involved, connected and eager to serve. Ben launched FuelFox in Birmingham, Alabama in the summer of 2018. The mission is simple: solve the gas station problems by bringing fuel directly to the consumers so they avoid the gas station. Now with only a few clicks on the FuelFox app, customers no longer have that unpleasant experience!
