Howdy. I am Ben.
I’ve spent half my professional life trying to make it as writer. I spent the other half trying to read Infinite Jest. In my free time, I map bars and restaurants in Chicago that offer free popcorn.
I have an affinity for crime noire fiction, Hawkeye football and YouTube cooking videos. In the summer, I enjoy playing golf and drinking outdoors. In the winter, I love telling people I like the cold and drinking indoors.
I have been mistaken for Jim Gaffigan on multiple occasions. I have successfully impersonated Jim Gaffigan on one occasion.
If you ever want me to make words for you, or need convincing that Iowa is going 10-2 this year, you know where to find me.
