Calling Ben and avid soccer fan is an understatement. He is fanatical about the teams he follows. Not only does he follow the best teams around the world, he also plays the sport and is currently co-captain of his select team in Columbus, Ohio. Ben is also an accomplished water skier. He even earned his boating certification so he could pilot his families’ water skiing boat.

When not on the field or in the water, Ben is part of his school's Science Olympiad team and participates in Math Counts. Ben, like both of his parents, plans to be an engineer when he goes to college and is pursuing math and science classes in high school to make this a reality. He loves the challenges of designing and making new things that solve problems and issues for people.
