My name is Ben, I am 20 years old and have lived in ann arbor since I was 7.  I played lacrosse, football and I wrestled growing up at Skyline High School. I continued to play lacrosse in college for two years until I decided to change my major to Kinesiology, and decided to transfer schools to the University of Michigan. I still have a couple years of school left but I have never regretted my decision!

To have the opportunity to work in a motivating and purposeful environment while doing what I love.
