Campus Minister Bio:
Ben grew up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  He met Dawn working as a camp counselor in college, immediately fell madly in love with her and after much persistence persuaded her to be his wife.  After a few years in youth ministry they moved to St. Louis, MO to attend Covenant Theological Seminary where Ben received his Masters of Divinity.  In the summer of 2006 RUF hired Ben to serve as the campus minister at William & Mary much to Ben's delight.  Ben and Dawn have since added two to their family, Naomi and Benjamin.  Ben enjoys good music, good books, the great outdoors, good movies, some good TV shows, and most things cultural and pop cultural.  He does not typically write about himself in the third person, but has been known to do so on occasion.
