After being born in Ashburn and living in the same house his entire life, Ben is somehow a senior in high school, and this is his first year in Newspaper Journalism. He enjoys writing, or at least the idea of writing, great articles that get people excited about reading The Spartan! In his freetime, Ben enjoys painful activities like running, rowing, and reading. His favourite place to vacation is the beach, and his favourite food ever is a bacon wrapped scallop taco from a specific small street taco business in Virginia Beach.
