Hobbies If Ben is not spending time with his dynamic family, you might catch him out fly-fishing the Texas Coast, a Mountain Stream in Colorado and New Mexico or looking for Salmon in Alaska. Ben has also recently started golfing again. He just had his first game to break 100 and is very excited. Ben and Harmony love to snow ski and before the 3 children arrived you would find them every weekend, during ski season, on the slopes. The 3 little ones have slowed down the weekly skiing; however, we hope to get the oldest one on skis soon.
