Hi there, I'm Ben.

In the last few years I've:

• Started a microgreens farm
• Led a team building shelters in a refugee camp
• Designed programs to protect rice farmers from climate shocks
• Served as an Infantry Officer in the military
• Traveled across the US pitching a card game

Ultimately, I want to build a world in which people flee to safety, not more vulnerability.

If you're reading this, feel free to reach out to share ideas, or just to say hi!
