BIO
Born in Kirksville, MO, Ben has had a camera in his hands since he was 10 years old. What started as a hobby became a lifelong passion to create high-quality videos and build something meaningful. After graduating from Full Sail University with a BS in Digital Cinematography, he founded Mtn Craft in the spring of 2013. Now serving as CEO, Ben’s strengths in team building and client relations have helped grow Mtn Craft from a one-person operation into an 8-person team of ultra-talented creatives.
While his role keeps him off set, Ben remains deeply involved in the company’s vision—fostering a culture of intentional creativity and making sure the human element and storytelling remain at the heart of every project.
In 2023, he also helped launch the Mtn Craft Film Festival, which has quickly become one of the premier film festivals in West Virginia, celebrating Appalachian filmmakers and community.

HOBBIES
Ben enjoys spending time with his family the most during his free time. When not with family, his biggest hobby is disc golf. 🥏 He started playing several years ago and found that it filled a competitive hole that had been left after playing many sports in high school. He competes in sanctioned tournaments and is even sponsored by Circle 1 Discs. His other hobbies include photography, coffee, mixology, and video games. 🎮
