Teacher, Author, and Curriculum Designer
focused on making the world a better place.
Ben is an intuitive creative based out of Newark, Delaware.
With a passion for blending his diverse technology skillset with his background in English Language Arts, Ben crafts exceptional products and written content. His love for learning and reading began with bedtime stories from his mother that ignited his imaginative spark, ultimately guiding him to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Secondary English Education at the University of Delaware. As a teacher in the classroom, Ben quickly realized that he wanted to create a curriculum that resonated more strongly with the modern generation. With that desire came the creation of New Age ELA. The lessons and resources combine beautiful aesthetic imagery with high-quality texts to meet the rigor of the state standards.

Fun Fact: Ben took a backpacking trip to Indonesia with one of his best friends, and together they climbed a volcano.
When he’s not teaching or working on a creative venture, Ben spends his free time curled up with a good book in a cozy spot or outside adventuring with his mini-Australian Shepherd, Sora.
Sora was born on April 3rd, 2021 and has been with Ben since she was a little puppy. They’ve gone on countless adventures. She has an energetic personality and always wants to lick every human she encounters. Sora is a loyal companion and a great hiking partner.
In college, Ben went on a two month solo backpacking trip through Thailand and the Philippines that changed his life…
Traveling the world is one of the true wonders of the human experience. There’s nothing quite like the experience of renting a motorbike and riding through the mountains of Colombia or tasting fresh seafood at a beachside bar after diving on the coast of Thailand’s Koh Samui Island. Seeing the world’s beauty is one of the most fulfilling ways to experience life. If you haven’t taken that step out of your comfort zone, what’s holding you back?
“TO AWAKEN QUITE ALONE IN A STRANGE TOWN IS ONE OF THE MOST PLEASANT SENSATIONS IN THE WORLD.”

Building connections and making new friends is one of life’s greatest joys.
