Ben first learned about Ultimate Peace from a friend who had attended it the year before as a CIT. He was amazed by the idea, and his passion both for playing and teaching Ultimate made applying for the CIT program an easy decision.

Ben began playing Ultimate in third grade. In the fall, he volunteers as an assistant coach for his former elementary school team, and in the spring, he plays for the Northampton High School Blue Devils Varsity team in Western Massachusetts. When he’s not playing Ultimate, he enjoys spending time outdoors–backpacking, biking, and rock climbing. This will be his first time working with Ultimate Peace, and is incredibly excited to do so.
