Bio

Hello, my name is Ben and I am going to be a senior at Harvey Mudd, majoring in Engineering and focusing on digital electronics. Three years ago, I stepped foot outside of the great state of Ohio and since that fateful day I have been greatly changed. No longer do I refer to California as 'Cali.' What has not changed is my love for cheese, corn, and running.

You can find me rolling around the 5Cs on any number of wheeled devices such as free lines, longboards, or unicycles -- most of which give coach an aneurysm upon rolling up to practice on them.

This past summer I have been working and running in Portland, and have gotten plenty of experience with hills and trails, as well as sun staring.

My past running career has consisted of several disappointments including: having a teammate fall on the home stretch of a state-qualifying 4x800 race, not figuring out how to attach a saddle to Josh Sealand, and leaving my hip at the Grand Canyon last cross country season.

I look forward to an exciting fall!
