A metro-Detroit native, Ben founded Summer in the City (summerinthecity.com) in 2002 to make it “fun, flexible and fulfilling” for young volunteers to “paint, plant and play.” Ben has a Bachelor’s in Urban Studies from Columbia University, where he was the food editor of the Columbia Daily Spectator and the Hooker for Columbia Men’s Rugby.
