Ben assumed the role of Cabin Coordinator on January 3. He joins us from the office of Congresswoman Lisa McClain (R-MI), and brings with him a BS in Business Administration and Marketing from Central Michigan University. Ben was a 2019 Boston Marathon Qualifier and is also a USA Track & Field Level 1 certified coach. In 2020, he thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail SOBO, starting on July 3 at Katahdin and finishing on October 27 at Springer Mountain. “I had no idea at the time, hiking through the Potomac region, that in a mere two years I’d be working for PATC,” he says. We are so excited to have Ben on board and look forward to working with him on many upcoming initiatives.
