HI, I'm Ben. I'm a global CD at Expedia by way of Droga5, W+K, BBDO, Cartwright, and 180LA. Thanks for visiting.

Hi, I’m Ben. Thanks for checking out my site. 

I grew up in Seattle where I listened to Nirvana, rocked flannel, worked as a snowboard instructor, and cheered on the Mariners, Sonics (RIP), and the Seahawks. 

I spent my formative years skateboarding 24/7, eventually landing myself a sponsorship from a local skate shop. Here’s the peak of my skateboarding career - some shots the skate shop ran in a local coupon book . Then I worked every kind of construction and did a stint working in rural Alaska at a fish cannery. That’s me on the left with the patchy beard. Plenty of great stories from those days I’d love to share in person. One involves a bear. Another involves a foreman throwing a 2x4 at my head.

Currently I live in Los Angeles and spend my days as a Global Creative Director across Expedia, Vrbo, and Hotels.com at Expedia Group. Before that I was employee #14 and Creative Director at Cartwright helping the agency double in size. And before that I was lucky enough to learn from the great people at Droga5, Wieden+Kennedy, BBDO NYC, and 180LA.
