I’m Ben. I’m the husband of a woman who is wiser, kinder, and better than me in nearly every way that matters. Together we are raising three children.
I’m also a founder, engineer, restaurant operator, teacher, bookseller, confessional Lutheran, and future seminarian.
I co-founded and lead Table Needs and started Bagel Boy, a fledgling franchise with two locations. I also built Walk with God and Task Bracket. Plum CMS and Kodiak Booksellers are smaller ongoing projects.
Previously, I spent five years building Sworkit and helped roughly 100 people become software engineers through Bloc.
This site is where those vocations share a table.
