Ben grew up
playing multiple sports, but he really focused on football
and wrestling throughout high school. He attended Penn State
and graduated in 2000 with a degree in Engineering. During
college, he also had the opportunity to work as a strength
and conditioning coach for several of the collegiate teams,
including men’s wrestling and women’s dance. After working
as an engineer for a while, Ben realized he preferred
training people. |

1st Place Heavyweight in the 2006 Body1 Championships, and
he earned 2nd Place Heavyweight in the 2006 Maryland State

“I train because it is way more fun than engineering. I like
to focus on functional training like core development,
strengthening and conditioning, and contest preparation. The
accomplishment for which I am most proud is being titled
“The Coolest Uncle Ever! |
| In my off
time, I enjoy drinking coffee, reading, rock climbing,
snowboarding, water sports, and visiting family. Two
personal fun facts about me are I have three brothers and
they are all bigger than I am, and I can recite the alphabet
backwards.” |
