Ben grew up in “Stephen King country” of rural Maine before attending film school in New York City. He then moved to Los Angeles in 2002 and started his career in the film industry at a post-production house where he worked on trailer campaigns for indie darlings like A SCANNER DARKLY and blockbusters such as HARRY POTTER.

Ben then transitioned into writing and producing video content for GameTrailers.com where his videos racked up millions of views which helped get the attention of MTV/Viacom who then acquired the website.

From there Ben and his wife Rachel moved to Austin, TX where they started making films together. Since then, Ben has written and directed over 15 short films, a web series, some commercials and the award-winning feature film, LAST GIRL STANDING.

Ben is currently developing his next feature, eating tacos and playing video games with his 11-year-old son.
