‘Ben actively contributes to class discussions, however he would benefit from allowing others to contribute in a similar manner’ – Ben’s year 1 teacher.

Finally, almost 20 years later, Ben is ready to let others have their say! A St Kilda Saints tragic, and a lover of all other sports and music; you can find him at the gym, drinking copious amounts of coffee, looking for the coolest still available custom number plates, and studying the names of the people he has met – before he inevitably forgets them (oops, sorry).

His biggest claims to fame include being featured on social media for both St Kilda & 7Footy, being filmed close up for the global broadcast of the Australian Grand Prix, currently being on google street view in Adelaide, his girlfriend’s dog meeting a formula 1 driver (he lives vicariously), and his hometown café knowing his ‘usual’.
