Biography

Ben's interest in technology began when he was enrolled in the Lego TC Logo program while in the fifth grade. He showed a real interest in computers and started spending as much time as he could on the family's Windows PC. In middle school, his afternoons were spent drawing scenes from Star Trek in Microsoft Paint. After his father got online when he was in high school, Ben taught himself HTML while cutting his teeth on Paint Shop Pro so that he could build fan sites on Geocities.
