Pronouns: He, Him, His

Background/Education: Ben’s journey with climbing and group facilitation started at age 15, when he started climbing at Granite Arch, his local climbing gym, fell in love with the sport, and almost immediately got a job there. During his time working, climbing, and connecting with the community there, he found a passion for creating impactful experiences for participants in the youth programs. In 2020, he started attending Sac State in pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism Administration to hone his craft. After graduation, he took over management of the Youth Programs department at Granite Arch. After two years of management at Granite Arch, he resigned and spent several months living on the road and exploring the many desert climbing destinations of the American Southwest. Upon his return, Ben took everything he had learned from his journey so far and brought it to The WELL.

Fun Fact: When Ben lived on the road, he did so with his wife and their 16-year-old cat, McChicken.

Favorite thing to do at The WELL: Climbing!
