I usually go by "Ben." I've lived in Chicago for five years, came here from Maine in 2013 to move in to a christian intentional community. I'm originally from Kentucky, (which is where I did the majority of my C.S. hosting in the past.) I spend a lot of time contemplating, working and trying to help people in ways that I feel are appropriate. I also like to dig around in thrift stores, read, go to farmers markets, ride bicycles, do some volunteering, explore the libraries, tinker on all kinds of things and try to attend various events around the city.
