<h3>Biography</h3>
<div class="bio"><p>Founder, Community Builder, and Developer Advocate; Ben gets to build neat things -and- talk to people! \o/</p>
<p>Ben is a software engineer and community leader with extensive knowledge and expertise in the Puppet ecosystem. He's honored to call many of you friend and learn from you every day. He's been organizing Linux Users Groups, run clubs, and roller derby teams for most of his adult life and even a bit before that. Before coming to Puppet, he taught Anthropology grad students how to code in Java and then used that experience to introduce Puppet to many of you.</p>
<p>Ben has been obsessed with collective benefit for decades and is motivated by enabling the success of others. He's been dreaming of a world in which his skills don't just feed the capitalist maw. He is a long-distance runner but isn't interested in boasting about race times; he'd rather hear how your race went for you.</p>
<p>He's currently building a VC-free company at <a href="https://overlookinfratech.com">https://overlookinfratech.com</a>. Find him online at <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@binford2k">https://hachyderm.io/@binford2k</a></p></div>
