Born and raised in the Midwest, Ben grew up around storytellers and stories. Whether it was being taken to plays, secretly watching movies, or being read Greek myths before bed, the plot was always thickening.

Ben found a deep love for visual storytelling through making movies with his sisters, which helped him decide his career path. While attending the Peck School of the Arts at UW-Milwaukee, Ben made twelve short films and co-founded a production company, Studio 640.

Ben is currently finishing his senior thesis, Motherboard, and hopes to premiere it at film festivals soon.
