Get to know Ben
What’s the most impactful piece of advice you’ve received?
"Hard work is fun – it's what allows us to get ahead" from my Father. He always told me this was the one thing we could control – how hard we work; my mother instilled in me to do it with a positive attitude.
If you could have any superpower?
I would slow down time. I love my job – I also have two young boys (5 and 3) and I want time to slow down and for them to stay these ages forever. I am enjoying every minute of work and life.
What would you do with an hour of unexpected free time?
I would slip away and play pickleball. I'm extremely competitive and I love to get in a good sweat. The obsession is real – 5.0 is within reach.
What is your most used emoji, gif, or meme?
Michael Jordan - "...and I took that personally"
