Hi! I’m Ben and you’ve landed on my personal website somehow. We are currently under development, but open during construction, so come on in!
This is a self-guided tour. Please feel welcome to explore any of the exhibits and share your thoughts, ideas, questions, or concerns through comments on each page or by contacting me. I’d love any feedback around anything that comes up while you’re here, and even just a simple Hi!
And I do offer weekly guided tours of the latest content and happenings, if you’re so inclined to sign up for those:
Here’s the scoop:
I’ll be building this website and my online presence over time and sharing this process right here. I’ll also be sharing the process of building out the online presence for a project my father and I are working on, called In Every Step, which will follow our journey together as it relates to his Parkinsonism.
Mixed in with all the website and web presence stuff I’ll be sharing a variety of experiences, personal projects, and other musings as they relate to me and my life. That’s pretty much it!
Exciting, right?
No?

Oh. Well, for me it’s enough to get my nerves going and make me want to climb into a virtual shell, but I’ll also experience the thrill of the virtual open road, and that’s what I’m choosing as my driving force. I get that the experience will be different for you, but I hope you find something useful, entertaining, or inspiring in at least one thing I share on this journey. Then it will be well worth it .
