Benjamin graduated with a degree in computer science from Boston College, and even though he doesn't remember anything about JavaScript or C++, he does like referring to himself as a "scientist" whenever possible. He began his career 16 years ago as an editor, and still loves cutting his own stuff — always working with an eye toward how everything will come together. He is a founding member of the directing collective "The Hall" and is a big fan of collaboration in the creative process. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their 9-year-old son who can officially beat him in Mario Kart (which is super depressing). Oh, he also won a Telly Award, which a recent houseguest mistook for an Oscar, and he didn't exactly correct them before changing the subject.
