Ben was born and raised in a small town along the coast of southern Maine that, unfortunately, was never featured in any Stephen King novels.

He earned a BFA in Illustration from Syracuse University and graduated from Gnomon, a VFX trade school in Los Angeles.

For the past 17+ years he's been working as a digital compositing artist on films, TV shows and commercials. He's contributed his artistic talent and skills to over 100 projects for clients that include Disney, Lucasfilm, Marvel, MSG Sphere in Las Vegas, Sony Pictures, Paramount, Hulu, CBS, Netflix, Fox and Apple to name a few.

Outside of films, sports and art - he's interested in carbs - all of them - they're delicious. Also, he's intrigued by the intersection of the spiritual and scientific, health and healing modalities, NLP, manifestation, personal development, entrepreneurship, stories of near-death experiences, music, politics, history and travel.

When he's not working on something creative, he loves getting outside, spending time with his beautiful partner, Maral, connecting with friends and family, following his beloved Boston sports teams, and playing golf. He currently resides in Sonoma County, California.
