Welcome,
My name is Ben. I grew up in Canada as a die-hard fan of Adventures in Odyssey. I was always listening to it, whether it was in the car, or going to sleep at night. I owned every Adventures in Odyssey album by the time I was 11.
I recently graduated with an English degree. I love reading, thinking about what I read, and talking about what I read. I also have an interest in good stories and analyzing how those stories are created and told. I also have a passion for Children's Entertainment. Whether it is what they watch on TV, read in books, or listen to on the radio, I believe children can be impacted negatively or positively by what they encounter in the media.
What are your favorite Adventures in Odyssey Episodes?
I realized a year ago that this is an impossible question. Depending on where I am in life, a certain episode will come back to my mind and mean a lot to me. However, as much as love the show's comedies, I always really enjoyed when the show slowed down and took things seriously. However, the following is a reliable "fallback" list of my favorite episodes:
- Someone to Watch Over Me
- The Mortal Coil, 1+2
- The Perfect Witness 1+2+3
- The Final Conflict
- Gone...
- Where is Thy Sting?
- A Question About Tasha
- The Other Woman
- Malachi's Message 1+2+3
- Plan B: 1+2+3+4

What are you favorite films?
I'm a big fan of films. I have many movie blogs I like to check out and read from time to time. Here are a few of my all-time favorites (an incomplete list): - The Fugitive
- Road to Perdition
- Vertigo
I always want to be creative in whatever I do. I like to write, and strive to create entertaining, yet thought-provoking, stories.
Favorite Places you've traveled?
I haven't traveled enormously, however, I've enjoyed the places I've been to. I spent a semester overseas at Oxford University. It was one of the greatest, most rewarding, experiences I've ever had. I also really enjoyed my experiences in Germany and Ireland.
Other hobbies?
I plant trees in my spare time. So far, I've planted over 400 000 trees. I hope to reach a million, one day.
