Biography

Born in Ghana, in West Africa, Eben Pobee was one of eight children of farmers. At an early age, Eben chose schooling over farming and went on to earn a degree at the University of Ghana and a scholarship to the London School of Business. Rather than moving to London, Eben chose to get his Master of Business Administration degree from Concordia University in Portland, Oregon where he met his wife, Harriet. After graduating, he moved to Shoreline with his wife and their three daughters, Emily, Olivia, and Lydia. 

Eben works as a finance manager with EPOBS Suite, a cloud-based Financial Management Software company. He is also co-founder and Artistic Director of JHP Legacy which provides a variety of cultural and arts programs.

In 2019, Governor Jay Inslee appointed Eben to the Board of Trustees of Shoreline Community College, where he currently serves as Vice Chair. Eben was involved in the first CityWise Project organized by the City of Shoreline and has been active in PTAs at his kids’ schools. He currently serves as the Chair of King County’s 4Culture Arts Advisory Committee.
