Ben thought he wanted to be an engineer and took some science courses at college but decided that book learning wasn't for him. He fell in love with hands on work so he switched to Tool and Die and eventually became a machinist. Ben's favourite part of his job is when he comes into work with a big challenge in front of him where you don't even know where to start. He loves finding a way to solve any problem. Nothing is impossible, says Ben in his Job Talk.
