Growing up in Colorado, Ben’s childhood was an idyllic mix of baseball, singing, camping and any other sport he could find. A lifelong reader and student, he spent the next four years studying behavioral economics and business at BYU, along with a two-year hiatus in Thailand doing missionary work. He capped off his formal education with an MBA at Oxford University.

Ben has never been one to turn down an opportunity to teach or perform. He’s always looking for a chance to interact with others individually, in groups or in a crowd. He’s now settled down in Maryland with his wife, another Oxford graduate, and their two adorable daughters. As a family, you can find them at parks, museums, a baseball game or at home relaxing.
