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 desire to start a company and create high-quality videos. After graduating from Full Sail University with a BS in Digital Cinematography, he founded Mtn Craft in the spring of 2013. Ben’s strengths are team building and client relations; armed with these skills and the help of amazing teammates along the way, he has helped guide Mtn Craft from a single person to an 8 person team of ultra-talented creatives. While his role as Director of Business Development keeps him from being on set, he enjoys seeing the team continue to find new ways to meet clients’ needs while also keeping the human element and storytelling at the heart of each video that is produced.
