He attended Colby College, where he met his now wife, Gretchen, and treasured his time working as a sailing instructor and boat captain in the British Virgin Islands. Ben developed a lifelong appreciation for the ocean between Jamestown and the BVI.  Ben is a lifelong educator and has had the privilege of working with hundreds of boarding students from across the world. In 2012, Ben made the life-altering decision to break free of the hold that the addiction to alcohol had on him. Despite not knowing how to swim, the sport of triathlon arrived quickly in his life. After seven years of competitive triathlon, Ben made the switch to marathon swimming. After many crossings from Newport, RI to Jamestown, RI on Save the Bay Swims, Ben throttled it up with the 12.5 Mile FKCC Swim Around Key West. After that, he couldn\u2019t stop and completed a 21-mile swim around Jamestown and began his endeavor to preserve the Rhode Island marine environment by raising money for the non-profit Clean Ocean Access. He continued his challenge with a 19-mile swim from Block Island to Jamestown, most recently by swimming the 24-mile length of Narragansett Bay from Providence, RI to Jamestown, RI. Esteemed producer, Matt Corliss, chronicled Ben\u2019s journey to sobriety and the parallels of his recent swim. Ben has successfully raised over $270k to preserve the local marine environment of Rhode Island which has all gone to Clean Ocean Access.
