A Bit About Me
Ben is a nature documentarian and filmmaker, with a gift for storytelling.
He enjoys hiking, cycling, writing, and outdoor sports.
​
Ben started his videography in 2020, when the pandemic forced him to create videos for his teaching career. A year later, he continued creating films after realizing his gifts for speaking and videography could be used as a voice for nature and conservation. He has remained committed to sharing his perspective of nature and telling stories through the art of filmmaking ever since.
"These stories are deeply personal to me; I take my art very seriously.
My hope is that my films will be both entertaining and enriching. I want to share my love for this Planet, inspire my audience through creativity, and bring our stories to life in a vibrant, unique way...
It's a pleasure to have you along for the journey!"
