Ben was born and raised on the East Coast and knew early in his education that a human-helping profession would be in his future. He started shadowing his high school athletic trainer and started learning more about sports medicine, kinesiology, and rehabilitation. He applied to Springfield College for the PT program and finished with his Master's degree in physical therapy.

Ben was drawn to the career because he wanted to help people live better lives. His treatment philosophy is based on patient-centered, functionally specific care. He wants patients to find joy in returning to better movement and activity.
