Ben isn’t a Harvard Graduate or a member of Mensa. He’s just a down-to-earthguy who loves solving problems, finding a better way and making things assimple as possible for his customers.
He credits his success to a childhood that encouraged exploration and gave himthe confidence to go after his goals, without going through the usual study orcareer journey.
In some ways Ben is still a child. He’s excited by clever techniques and designsand ideas. And he gets a buzz from tipping things on their head or rearrangingpieces of the seemingly impossible to create wonderful new possibilities.
