About Benjamin »

I'm currently a sports broadcaster working all over the New England area. I was formerly a part of the Young Guns, a sports talk show on 1510 and 890 AM. I've also done play-by-play for Middlebury College football, University of New England basketball and hockey, Babson College hockey, and St. Anselm's College. I'm also New England born and bred meaning I'm all about the Sawx, the C's, the B's and the greatest football team ever....the Patriots.
