Born and raised in small town Welland, Ontario, Ben grew up far away from the world of finance and investing. After attending first year online, he first developed an interest in finance via zoom. He was attracted to DCM for the opportunity to work with a tight-knit group of exceptional students and professors. In his free time, Ben can be found struggling to carry his hockey bag to intramurals or blundering his queen to seven-year-olds on chess.com.
