Ben graduated from Hamilton College. It was there that Tyler Hirschey and Yungjin Oh (Founder/Biz Mngr 2000-2003) nurtured his love a cappella dorkiness, and he felt obliged on returning to NYC to join them once again. Prior to Hamilton, Ben lived in Buffalo, where he sang with several school groups and the Buffalo Philharmonic Chorus. His musical interests began with several years spent at the American Boy Choir in Princeton. Until recently, Ben was an actuary, but he has seen the light and now works in human capital resources, whatever that is. Ben also sings with the University Glee Club.
