Speaking + conversations

Have Ben
Talk.

Whether you need a speaker who can make AI feel human, or someone who's lived through the kind of adversity that most people only read about — I'm available.

The condensed version I’ve been building products on the web since 1997. Along the way I survived three cardiac events, ran ultramarathons, and kept building. I’ve made complex technology accessible for 25 years — from enterprise systems to AI evaluation. And I built one of the most-followed trail condition resources in the Bay Area from scratch.
