Hi. I’m Ben.

Video Editor. Photographer. Burrito Eater.
My love for editing began while making skateboarding videos with my friends in the far west suburbs of Chicago. Pursuing a career in editing ultimately beat out my other high school passions for photography, graphic design, and music.
After college, I landed right where I hoped to: in the crazy and diverse world of Chicago advertising. Now in my second decade in the industry, I’ve had the opportunity to cut all kinds of spots, from comedy to docu-style to tabletop, and everything in between – sometimes all in the same week! And I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Though I never pursued photography professionally, I never gave it up as a hobby. It’s a fun, stress-free creative outlet. I’m free to experiment and explore and enjoy the process of capturing the world in different perspectives. No clients. No agenda. Just me.
My other hobbies include playing reading, bowling, video games, making music, and eating new foods.
And old foods.
I enjoy eating.
