Ben grew up in Chicago, Illinois until the age of 6, when his parents decided on a whim to move to Maui, Hawaii for some of the best years of his life. While in Hawaii, he started taking musical theatre and dance classes, and grew to love it so much that at the age of 6 begged a producer to let him audition for a local TV show.
A few months later, he was on the tv show, Gamekids, and traveled around the island performing with the cast. At the age of 9, his mom, dad, and brother, Nico, made the move to Scottsdale, Arizona, going from 80 degrees and sunny with an ocean view to 120 degrees. He noticed that tv and film was harder to come by in Arizona, so he auditioned for his first musical, Peter Pan, in hopes of being able to live out his flying dreams but was cast in the role of Starkey the pirate.
Since then, he has been hooked, growing up in community and youth theatre and now works professionally. He graduated from Arizona State University with a BM in Musical Theatre in 2018 and has worked performing at Arizona Broadway, Phoenix Theatre, Dollywood, The Medora Musical, and just recently debarked his second Disney Cruise Lines contract aboard the Disney Fantasy.
In addition to his love for performing, Ben also has a passion for digital marketing. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, he received his digital marketing communication master's degree from West Virginia University.
He currently is based out of New York City and is currently a swing in A Chorus Line at the Phoenix Theatre Company!
Ben also works in digital marketing with Feel Good Action, a non-profit looking to advance social justice and environmental sustainability!
