Hi, I'm Ben.
Since I was a little kid, I've loved writing stories and talking to people, so with an added keen eye for details it made sense to pursue a career in journalism. Long-form articles and profile pieces are my specialty, but I'm also interested in multitrack video and audio editing. Cartooning and graphic design are my other passions.
LinkedIn is odd, so check out my profile on Muck Rack if you'd like to know more about me.
