About

Hi, I am Ben. This page just has some random information about me.

  • I am happily married, and have a beautiful daughter.
  • I had the privilege of studying music with concert pianist Nicholas Constantinidis, who made a big impact on my life.
  • I am a yoga student. I received my 200hr YTT certificate from the Nada School of Yoga in Rishikesh, India in 2017 during a month-long stay at Swarg Ashram. When I was there, I did a review video for the school, which you can see here.
  • Currently I am pursuing a 500hr YTT training certificate from the Spiritual Life Society in Hudson, Ohio.
  • I have worked professionally as a software developer for a big part of my life.
