Hey, I’m Ben!
Just a 13 year old boy, and I live in a small (but pretty cool) town called Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Life here is simple, and life isn’t so crazy, it gives me time to focus on what matters most: faith, family, and fun!
I’m Catholic, and my faith is the most important part of who I am. I love God more then anything, and I try to live for Him every day. I’m also an alter server at my parish, which is something I take seriously and feel honored to do. Being up close during Mass has helped me grow even closer to Jesus and understand the beauty of the Eucharist in a deeper way.
My favorite saint is St. Michael the Archangel—I really admire his courage, strength, and protection. I also look up to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. He lived a joyful, adventurous life filled with faith, kindness, and love for others. His motto “Verso l’alto” (to the heights) reminds me to always strive for holiness while living life fully.
When I’m not at church or with family, I’ve got a bunch of things I’m passionate about! I’m a huge Cubs fan (even when things get rough), and my favorite players are Javy Báez and Christopher Morel—they bring energy and excitement to the game.
I’m really into football as well, and I could probably talk about sports for hours.
Another thing I’m totally into? LEGO. I love building sets—especially the ones with tons of pieces and cool details. Whether it’s a Star Wars ship, a city scene, or a totally made-up creation,LEGOs are just awesome. They let me use my imagination and create something from nothing, one brick at a time.
I’ve also been playing the piano since I was 5. It started out with simple songs I know, sometimes I make stuff up and sometimes I goof around on the keys until something sounds good.
I also collect playing cards—not just for games, but because the designs are so cool and unique.
I love to cook! Whether it’s baking something sweet or making a new dish for my family, being in the kitchen is just fun for me. Food brings people together, especially to the people who matter most to me.
Most of all, I’m really thankful for my family and my friends. They support me, laugh with me, and help me grow into the person God wants me to be. I don’t take that for granted.
So yeah—that’s me! A small-town, big-hearted, Star Wars-loving, Cubs-cheering, piano-playing, altar-serving kid just trying to live a joyful life, to grow in faith, and hopefully become a saint.
May the Force (and God’s grace) be with you.
