On working at Next Street

I grew up working in small businesses, I know that their success drives communities forward. I’m excited to be a part of the NXST team because their mission and values align closely with mine.

Outside of Next Street

Outside of Next Street, Ben enjoys spending time with family. Nothing makes him happier than sitting on the floor and hearing about his daughter’s day or crawling around pretending to be a dinosaur for his son. He also enjoys cooking, especially barbecuing.
