~Beginnings: At age 3 started beating on his momma's pots and pans. At age 5, parents bought him first drum kit, from Sears. At age 7, parents bought a white second hand drum kit for Christmas. In grade 7, finally started learning to play drums. Teacher was superstar Adrian Gardner. Next Christmas, recieved a set of second hand 1975 Slingerland Black Beauty drums. And everything else is history (a musical).

~Spiritual Life: Saved at age 8. Always had interest in God and in music. Involved in various mission tours, and in worship teams as a drummer and percussionist.

~Note from Ben: Ever since I picked up the drumsticks and seriously started playing, I've always felt that I was to be in a Christian band, playing music and leading people to Christ through the universal language of music.
