Ben grew up in Shaker Heights, OH. An active and energetic kid, Ben has always been a bit of the Black Sheep in the family. He paved his way out to Boulder, CO for undergrad, preferring to find a social scene and spend time recreating in the mountains.

During his Junior year, he met Boone and the two became fast friends. Always entreprenuerially minded, he dreamed of avoiding the dreaded 9-5 and doing his own thing... as did Boone. The two stuck together, moved to Denver after graduating, and fell into the tech startup trap.

During COVID, he encouraged Boone's stovetop antics in search of a strange and all natural hair product. Seeing the potential, he brought energy to the project that allowed it to turn into something that could've resembled a business, and eventually allowed both Ben and Boone to leave the corporate world altogether. 1/2 of the Highland duo ever since, Ben runs marketing (and oh so much more) for the "little" hair care company out of Boulder, CO.
