After joining MUO in 2014 and earning a degree in Computer Information Systems, Ben left his IT job to go full-time with the site in 2016.

Now, as the Editor in Chief of MUO, Ben leads the overall strategy for the site and guides the team of writers and editors to new successes. When he's not working, Ben is exploring a new indie game or explaining a technical concept to friends.
