Experience
Family
Ben and Harmony were married in 2001 and they have five children: Xan, born in 2005, Liam, born in May 2006 and Austin, born in May 2008 and Kennan and Josiah born in 2009.
Hobbies
If Ben is not spending time with his dynamic family, you might catch him out fly-fishing the Texas Coast, a Mountain Stream in Colorado, New Mexico or looking for Salmon in Alaska. Ben has also recently started golfing again and is playing in the 90s. Ben and Harmony loved to snow ski and before they had children you would find them, during ski season, on the slopes. The five little ones have slowed down the weekly skiing (as well as moving back to Texas); however, we hope to get the kids on skis soon.
