Benjamin was born in Rockford, IL. He's a father, a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, a musician, an author, a speaker, a son of God, a lover of all things Chicago sports, a pizza consumption virtuoso, an intellectual, and a self-proclaimed comedian (yet to be confirmed). All these things, simple as they may be, make up the person that he has grown to be. He graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN with a BA degree in Commercial Music with an emphasis in Guitar Performance. He has toured the country with multiple Christian bands, leading numerous congregations, camps, and conferences in worshipping our Lord. In 2006 he became the worship pastor at a church in the Chicago suburbs. He and his wife and son now reside in Central Indiana where he is a full time musician, author, and speaker.

I recently read two very well-written posts by Joe Foreman of Switchfoot and Michael Gungor.
