A North Carolina transplant, Ben established his Pennsylvania roots as a Grove City College student, where he earned his B.A. in Political Science with minors in History and Biblical/Religious Studies. While there he grew campus ministry organizations, competed in NCAA swimming, and volunteered in local politics.

In addition to his 2019 Entrepreneur Engagement internship with CF, Ben interned with the U.S. House of Representatives while a student.

At nine months old he attended his first political event and has since enjoyed all things government. In his spare time Ben enjoys cycling, watching baseball, and exploring historical landmarks.
