About Ben

Thanks to Fletch Lives and Chevy Chase in 1989 Ben quickly developed his sarcastic superpowers at a young age. "Ben.. Dover, nice to meet you Ben!"

Ben's TV Comedy "Reaper Mom" was a finalist in several festivals last year winning Best Television or Best Comedy screenplay in three. Ben has created his latest TV Comedy - My Stalker And Me! based on his own real life experiences (it's okay not as the stalker). Ben lives in Australia with his wife and 4 kids and is the only one in the family who doesn't have his Black Belt in Taekwondo.

You say Impossible, I say I'm possible. It depends on your point of view.

Unique traits: Sarcastic, Self-Deprecating with Random Awesomeness, (sorry typo) Awkwardness.
