Ben was born in New Zealand and grew up in Mexico; however, he has lived in Canada for most of his adult life. He has traveled to a few places in Canada so far: British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia, but has only ever lived in Alberta —
all over Alberta. From Lethbridge to Calgary to Fort McMurray: he has seen most of what the province has to offer. He has also left the comfort of his—at the time—home country and gone abroad. In recent history he has been in China, New Zealand and the US (where he now lives); next year (2009) he plans to travel to Central and South America.
He recently (2007) completed a degree at the University of Lethbridge, in Computer Science, and currently works for the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the Computer Sciences Department as a Systems Programmer for the
Condor Research Project[

Ben has been known to enjoy reading, watching movies, playing console games, and learning everything he can about computers. And, more importantly, with regards to his character: does not usually speaks about himself in the third person.
