From NFL to Home Innovation
Built to Be Elite
At Mytikas Industries, we’re not just building homes — we’re redefining what it means to live at the peak. Our mission is simple: deliver elite, high-performance living spaces that maximize value, durability, and purpose. And that drive starts at the top.
Meet Ben Garland — co-founder of Mytikas Industries, former NFL offensive lineman, U.S. Air Force officer, and a proud Colorado native. From suiting up for America’s best football teams to serving his country, Ben has always lived with one goal in mind: to be part of something elite.
From the Gridiron to Groundbreaking
“Everything I’ve done — from joining the Air Force Academy to playing in the NFL — has been about being part of an elite group,” Ben says. “To me, elite means doing everything right. It’s not just about talent — it’s about intention, grit, and execution.”
Ben’s journey started in Colorado Springs, eventually leading to the Denver Broncos, Atlanta Falcons, and San Francisco 49ers — all while actively serving in the Colorado Air National Guard. Whether on the battlefield or the football field, Ben knows what it takes to operate at the highest level.
Today, that same mindset drives the foundation of Mytikas Industries — especially as we push boundaries in the real estate and tiny home market.
What Mytikas Stands For
Named after the highest peak on Mount Olympus, Mytikas symbolizes more than just elevation — it’s about excellence, purpose, and innovation. At Mytikas Industries, we bring that elite mentality into every structure we build — from compact, modern tiny homes to smart, sustainable real estate investments.
“We’re not here to meet expectations,” Ben explains. “We’re here to set them. What we build needs to be far and above what any competitor can offer — and that’s our standard.”
Mytikas homes are designed for those who want more than just a roof over their heads. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a smart home investor, or someone embracing the minimalist lifestyle, Mytikas delivers elite value at every level.
Lessons From the Field
Elite performance isn’t just about success — it’s about how you respond to setbacks. Ben learned this the hard way through years of injuries, surgeries, and personal sacrifice in professional sports.
“There were times I tore stuff, broke stuff — and had to keep going,” Ben says. “That resilience teaches you how to lead, how to support people, and how to build systems that last.”
Those same lessons now inform the way Mytikas operates — both as a company and as a culture. We believe in creating spaces that empower people to live fully, recover quickly, and thrive long-term.
From the foundation up, our tiny homes and modular housing units are built for resilience — using premium materials, optimized layouts, and innovative building techniques that stand the test of time.
Value That Goes Beyond the Price Tag
For Ben and the Mytikas team, success isn't measured in profit margins — it's measured in impact.
“I want to be part of a business that gives more value than the customer gave up in time and money,” Ben says. “That’s what matters — are we improving lives?”
That commitment to value is baked into every Mytikas project. Whether you’re downsizing into a tiny home, diversifying your real estate portfolio, or seeking a smart, low-maintenance home investment, Mytikas is focused on delivering more — more performance, more savings, more peace of mind.
Tiny Homes, Big Future
Mytikas Industries is at the forefront of the growing tiny home movement, offering solutions that blend form, function, and financial freedom. These aren’t just stylish downsized dwellings — they’re powerful tools for affordable housing, investment property, or vacation rental opportunities.

Join the Movement
Ben Garland’s path from the NFL to co-founding Mytikas Industries isn’t just a career pivot — it’s a mission-driven leap into something bigger.
“We’re building more than homes,” he says. “We’re building opportunity. We’re building legacy. We’re building for those who strive for the peak.”
