Long before he learned how to practice law, humor was how he survived.
In this conversation, Ben talks about growing up shy and learning to use humor as a way to navigate rooms, relationships, and uncertainty. What started as a protective instinct — making people laugh to stay connected — slowly became a skill he carried with him into adulthood.
Over time, that instinct shaped the kind of lawyer he became.
Not by sharpening arguments, but by reading people, earning trust, and knowing when to bring levity into moments that didn’t need more pressure.
This isn’t a story about stand-up comedy or legal strategy.
It’s about how humor, learned early as a survival tool, quietly became one of the most important reasons he’s good at what he does.
