Ever since Ben was forced to write the scripts for his middle school’s public access cable TV show, he's dreamed of disappointing his parents and becoming a professional comedy writer. He’s pitched jokes and story ideas to various TV shows and has been a semi-finalist or higher in the DISNEY WRITING PROGRAM, AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL, SCRIPTAPALOOZA, and FINAL DRAFT BIG BREAK.

When he’s not performing stand-up comedy or writing about himself in the third person, Ben enjoys playing indie video games, hanging out with his family (the one he created, not the one he escaped from), and telling everyone about the rabbi from his hometown who murdered his wife.
