Biosketch: Ben is a Sophomore from Austin, Texas, where he grew up going to summer camp every year for 10 years. As a Crawdad counselor this year, he can't wait to give his campers the same amazing experiences his counselors once gave him, and he's super excited to be back in a camp environment this summer! Ben is a design major with a music minor, and is currently interested in game design. Outside of class, he loves playing music, having grown up playing the piano and picking up the drums and guitar along the way. He is also apart of Stanford Students in Entertainment and an OCS student panelist. He loves to chat about all kinds of art, especially music and movies, and almost any sport you can think of!
