Ben loves to jump.  He could jump on the trampoline all day.  Coach Rich has to tell him to stop all the time.  When ever Coach says someone jump up on the trampoline...Ben is first to get up there!  Ben is such a funny, active little guy!  He loves to play with his older brothers Jake and Max.  

 

Ben is also active with music.  He plays the piano and is starting to learn guitar.  In his spare time between getting great grades at school, music and trampoline...he takes acting lessons as well as appearing on various TV shows as an extra.  This is one busy kid!  He has such a great sense of humor and is loved by all who know him.  So far, in his short carrier on the Skysurfers, he has competed in one competition and he won first place for trampoline in his division.  

Ben plans to work hard so that he can join his fellow team mates at the National competition in Kansas City this summer.
