Ben expresses his lifelong passions for performance, movement, and problem-solving through acrobatics. In 2011, he was first introduced to acrobatics by the University of Maryland Gymkana troupe, with whom he trained and performed for four years. Since then, Ben has taught acrobatics across the US and performed internationally while continuing to learn from sports acro coaches such as Jack Atherton and Arthur Davis. Ben and his wife, Cassandra Mattson, recently created Explaining Acro in order to make their teaching more accessible to the world. Check out Explaining Acro on Youtube and Instagram!
