Ben was born in Rexburg Idaho, but spent most of his years growing up in Cedar City, Utah and Panaca, Nevada. His writing ability stemmed from a vivid imagination in childhood, though at the time it mostly consisted of his passion for food. His career started with the publication of "Discarded Identities" in the literary magazine, Kolob Canyon Review. He has recently released a zombie themed novelette "Unworthy Sacrifice" with a follow up novel "Black Death: The Outbreak" to be released in December.
He currently resides in Cedar City, Utah with his wife Madeline. When he's not attending classes at the local university he can usually be found at his computer, crafting a new story to entertain others.
