Howdy! I’m Benjamin, this is my first time writing for The Lode. I used to think writing for a newspaper would have been crazy, but I have written a couple of sports articles and have seemed to enjoy it. I found myself writing for The Lode after joining the Intro to Journalism class, not knowing what I was getting into. I am glad I did, because writing these articles has pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me learn a few things about myself.
On paper, I am a fifth year construction management major. I played football for Tech for four years as a defensive lineman. Go Huskies! In my spare time, if I am not helping baby ducks cross the road, or saving kittens down from a tree, you can find me enjoying the outdoors hunting and fishing, or playing some pickup basketball.
