Ben is just your run-of-the-mill Catholic man that was raised Methodist – for a while – who then tried to sell his soul to Satan,
who then was an angry atheist, who then was a Wiccan magick practitioner, who then became a Baptist, who then became a Catholic. During that time, he played a lot of role-playing games, played in some bands, joined the Army to become a paratrooper, fought in Afghanistan, got married, had a boat-load of children, worked a bunch of different jobs (some of which made him cry on the way into work every morning), and eventually became a competitive strength athlete, personal trainer, and strength coach. His wife, Beth is utterly amazed at how cool he is, too. So there’s that.
