Ben
began his athletic career as an All-State Soccer Player and
All-City Tennis player in high school. He soon tired of such
civil sports at the University of Vermont and took to the
mountains. At Vermont, Ben skied a minimum of 30 days a
year. If he was not on the ski slope, he was either on
one of the many peaks in the Adirondacks or at Princeton
wooing Heather and challenging Rick in basketball.
After graduating from Vermont, Ben headed west to seek
bigger mountains. Ben has climbed 15 peaks over 10,000 ft in
Oregon, Southern Washington, and California. Ben
competed in the NCC Triathlon in Cleveland, Ohio, Pole,
Pedal, Paddle in Bend, Oregon, Big Sur Marathon, Mountain
Rage Race in Lake Powell, two Cal Ecos, and the Beast of the
East. During the week Ben is a control buyer. He has
worked primarily in retail for Nike, Early Winters, and most
recently Williams Sonoma. But on the weekends he
is mountain biking, snow shoeing, mountaineering, surfing,
tele-skiing, kayaking or running. Ben currently lives
with his wife, Heather, (P'95) in San Francisco, CA.
