Our Story

Task Force Contractors was founded in 2022 by Ben Cockrell and Chase Murray, two leaders who share a vision of bringing military precision, strategic problem-solving, and a commitment to excellence to the contracting industry. Their partnership began at Florida State University’s Army ROTC program, where they developed the discipline, leadership, and teamwork that would later become the foundation of Task Force Contractors.


Ben Cockrell's background as a Logistics Officer in the 3rd Infantry Division provided him with firsthand experience in managing large-scale operations under pressure. His role required coordinating supply chains, optimizing resources, and executing mission-critical logistics—skills that seamlessly translated into the private sector. After his military service, Ben built a successful career in procurement and investment banking, where he specialized in strategic planning, risk management, and operational efficiency. His ability to analyze complex challenges, develop cost-effective solutions, and drive results ensures that Task Force Contractors operates with maximum efficiency and precision.


Chase Murray’s experience as an Air Defense Artillery Officer in the Florida National Guard shaped his ability to assess high-stakes situations and respond with strategic solutions. In parallel, he established a strong reputation in the automotive sales industry, where his expertise in client relations, negotiations, and business development set him apart. His ability to understand customer needs, build lasting relationships, and lead high-performing teams is at the core of Task Force Contractors’ client-first philosophy.


With their combined military training and business acumen, Ben and Chase set out to redefine industry standards by launching Task Force Contractors. Their mission is to provide dependable, high-quality contracting solutions rooted in integrity, efficiency, and a commitment to delivering results. They believe in building lasting partnerships, exceeding client expectations, and setting a new benchmark for reliability in contracting services.


From disaster recovery and logistics support to large-scale construction projects, Task Force Contractors applies the same level of discipline, precision, and strategic execution that defined Ben and Chase’s military careers. Today, they continue to lead with the same principles that brought them together—service, dedication, and an unwavering pursuit of excellence.
