Ben has been paddling for over 35 years, and teaching/guiding for over 20.  He has taught paddling on five continents and competed on three. Presently he works as head instructor and owner of Kayak Camp with his wife, Elizabeth. Ben presented at both the US WW symposium and the National ACA Conference in 2010.  He has led trips and traveled extensively in South America, South Africa, Europe and North America.  Ben splits his time now teaching paddling and working with stores.  His teaching also takes him to symposiums, shows and paddling rendezvous all over the United States.  As a brand ambassador, he is involved with kayak design in sea, light touring and racing kayaks.  All of which has led to an in-depth knowledge of instruction/guiding practices and procedures, strong commitment to quality service, as well as excellent organizational and problem solving skills.  He enjoys competing in sprint, sea kayak, slalom, rodeo, marathon canoe and kayak, outrigger, surf ski and wildwater events.
