He opens up about the lessons learned from navigating the toughest trails and how those experiences have shaped his approach to managing uncertainty in business and balancing a thriving family life.
Ben has a love for connecting with the land and running Ultra Marathons. Ben has successfully completed 3x 200 mile race, including Bigfoot and Tahoe 200, some of the most challenging foot races in the world. Ben has also completed The Famous Coast to Kosci in Australia racing from sea level to the top of Kosciusko. He relies on his amazing belief in his body, mind and soul, his strength of tenancity and never giving up. He plans to run the newly created Arizona Monster next year which is a staggering 309 miles (500Km).
Ben is a loyal and devoted family man, husband, father and recently grandfather who takes pride embracing special moments with his loved ones. Ben is continually looking to better himself and expand on his personal work to further develop his understanding of self, spiritually, emotionally and physically.“
