Raised in Alaska, Ben grew up taking full advantage experiencing what the outdoors had to offer and continues to do so. Aside from Boy Scouts, Ben’s passion and talents for shooting was reviled in high school when he worked at a prominent clay target shooting facility near Wasilla, Alaska. Over the course of several years Ben became highly engaged with shooting competitively as well as working alongside several international shooting instructors. This aspiration for shooting sports carried onto college where Ben joined the University of Wyoming shotgun team while studying for his degree. Highlights of this time included such events as shooting at the Olympic Training Center under the instruction of Team USA coaches and attending the Collegiate National Championship each year at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio, Texas. After graduation, Ben continued to shoot competitively as a hobby to focus on his career. Ben is excited to be a part of GNG’s Instructor Development academy to allow him to turn his focus to instructing the next generation of shooters and to share in the learning experience of shooting proficiency.
