Ben is one of the most diligent, hard-working people I know. He is intelligent, patient, respectful, thoughtful, and also ready to research and explore topics that he may not know or have experience with -- which made him a fantastic creator, educator, and coworker. He is warm and inviting with both new and old connections, and there's something really authentic and humble about how he handles himself. He fully listens and engages in conversations with people of all ages and backgrounds, and is able to share information back in a way that is meaningful to those involved. I love his commitment and enthusiasm to both learning and sharing knowledge in an interactive and playful way!

Ben and I both started out with Play-Well around the same time, and I came to understand what an incredibly gifted teacher he is. Ben brings the excitement of discovery to everything that he does, and leads his fellow learners into explorations that ground their understanding of the subject matter while using critical thinking skills. Ben's compassionate style helps students to know that it's OK to mess up while we learn, and that we can learn from this as well. Eventually Ben became a leader in our curriculum development and training team, and he is a huge part of the reason that so many kids, parents and clients have loved Play-Well programs throughout the years. Ben has the dual skill of developing almost magically fun projects while being able to document each step clearly so that it can be used by any instructor - thereby spreading the BEN-ness of everything that we do throughout the country! Anyone who is fortunate enough to be part of Ben's classes quickly understands that they have encountered a truly special person and will be treated with respect and share in an amazing journey together.
