About Me:
About Me, or make yourself seem witty, intelligent, funny, indearing, sexy and generally perfect in 2000 characters or less
uggghhhh....do I have to? I dislike these things intensely.
Shit, I just wasted 200 characters. Maybe I should just start over without the whining. But what would I write? Now I sound neurotic. Ah, that would be because I am. Although hopefully just a touch, you know, cute endearing neurotic rather than crazy, unable to cope with the world, stalker neurotic.
Enough rambling. I currently live in England, after spending most of my life in the United States. I have a BA in Environmental Studies and I am on a leave of absence after completing two years of a PhD Program in Environmental Science. My wife and I just completed a trip through parts of Westeren Europe and I hope that while were are here in the UK that we will get to do a lot of traveling.
Wow, I still have 1000 characters left...

Testimonials and Comments for Ben
Ever since I met him (eight years ago!), I have been struck by the deliberateness with which he lives. He speaks well and always with a point, which is often an exercise debating rather than merely about the topic at hand. Part of his living deliberately is that he loves deliberately. He is one of the most loyal and generous individuals I have had the pleasure to know. He offers his support and insights to his friends even when it delays his own plans. He has found a wonderful partner in his wife, Gina, and through their relationship I have seen even more evidence of how amazing Ben is. We've drifted in and out of each others lives in the past few years, but we maintained a deep respect and connection that I hope will continue for years to come.
kind and idealistic. He takes care of
me, tickles me, cooks for me, argues
with me, loves me and is basically
perfect. He makes me want to be a better
person and loves me when I'm not. All
that and a nice ass, what more could a
girl want?
came! you... huckle...banian.
hucklebenian...
this world is not ready for you!!!!
the floor of a small conference room in a
large hotel in Burlingame. Ben saved my
life by bringing me turkey sandwichs one
after another while I edited the
newspaper-from-hell at Model UN. Plus
he did everything he could to make sure
we were all happy little journalists, and
told lots of funny jokes. I ask, who
COULDN'T like this guy? He 's that rad.
Thanks Ben!
