A 1996 graduate of Northampton Area High School, Benjamin has worked at Fres-Co in Telford as a printing machine operator for over 18 years. Apostolic by faith like his late father, Benjamin was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting, archery, fishing, and mountain bike riding on the D&L trail. Benjamin missed the companionship of his late German Shepherd Jesse, so he spent time volunteering at Char-Will Kennels of New Ringgold walking their dogs. Benjamin was a member of Hiawatha Hunting Club with the hopes of someday becoming a hunting guide. When Benjamin had any downtime he could be found tinkering on small engine repairs in his garage.
