firefighter and personal trainer at ~brunet's gym. he's a podcast enthusiast and runs his own podcast out of the firehouse on his off hours called "off duty podcast" featuring different members of law enforcement, and locals especially those who run local businesses and want to plug their stuff. he used to be a stand up comedian (think early chris gethard fame/style of comedy) who studied at ucb for a few years in ny. he was a regular in the nyc scene for four years from 2005-2008, so if your kid loves comedy ben will easily go back and forth and talk their ear off. other than that he's a florida native who has no problem wrestling crocs but would scream bloody murder over spiders. he's just a generally extroverted, funny with comedy nerd tendencies. i could use a specific ex wife line, a best friend, or really anything else you think might fit.
