Furthermore, he is a memeber of the track team, where he and his teammates hold a record in the 4x800 meter relay.

He is devoted to solving world-wide problems, with his passion only growing with each new country he visits, especially with his most recent trip to Japan. In the future, Ben plans to work for the United Nations, helping to create solutions to the world's most pressing issues.
