Ben believes that nothing has set him up for greater success than KJDS. KJDS unlocked his creativity and thirst for knowledge. Ben played a lead role in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, an experience that forced him to sing on stage in front of hundreds of strangers. The thought of being on stage and talking to people used to terrify him, but KJDS helped him break out of his shell and become extremely personable and sociable. He later developed the courage to become the lead in his high school production of Newsies and join the cheerleading squad at his university, where he performed in front of thousands. Ben completed a BS in Computer Engineering from Tennessee Tech University in 2024 and immediately began a career in cyber security for NAVSEA, the civilian branch of the U.S. Navy.
