From Glen Rock, NJ, Ben was born with music in his ears. After graduating SUNY New Paltz, he worked at Bearsville Theater in Woodstock, NY as a sound engineer and stage manager for hundreds of local and national music acts. His talents caught the eye of Todd Rundgren's management, with whom he would tour as stage manager, guitar tech, and monitor engineer for nearly 50 performances around the USA and Europe. He relocated to San Francisco after recording his debut album "First Dream" in Brooklyn and Woodstock, NY. He has toured with Jefferson Starship for 50+ performances, all while continuing to write, record, and perform. Ben joined Psittacus Productions as Technical Director in June 2010 during staging of "A Tale Told By An Idiot." His natural musical abilities were called upon by Psittacus to adapt Cyclops into a rock opera, and to perform in the show as lead guitarist. He lives in Los Angeles.
