BIO
View Ben’s resume here.
Ben’s passion and inspiration all stem from one thing: the power of human connection. Ben has expertly honed the craft of storytelling in a way that reverberates its message from person to person, connecting us all through one plot.
From Acting to Journalism to Public Relations to Entertainment to Directing
Ben’s curious nature led him to seek out stories from a young age. Ben has always focused on the “how” AND the “why,” which is precisely how he discovered his passion for understanding people was best achieved through sharing stories. His 15-year career has included video and photo production, creative agencies, journalism, public relations firms, digital and social media companies, tech, sports, startups, small businesses, and entertainment.
He’s worked with numerous brands on large and small-scale storytelling including Nike, Intuit, Four Seasons, Pepsi, Brooks Running, The Minnesota Vikings, Blackbaud, Smile Direct Club, and more. His work has been seen in top publications like USA Today, Food & Wine Magazine, and Fast Company.
He spent nine months in Malawi creating and filming his first documentary. He built the in-house video department at Rogue Ales, one of the top 50 craft breweries in the U.S., and used that success to launch Pamoza Pictures, a storytelling video, and photo production company.
Today he helps both B2C and B2B brands reach their audiences by finding impactful and meaningful stories that create long-term affinity and affection leading to sustained and scalable growth.
Finally, a secret fun fact: he was also an award-winning college mascot.
“To seek, to strive, to find, and not to yield.”
