Founder
The Purpose LabFounder
Oct. 2020I created The Purpose Lab as a container and incubator for my coaching, teaching, consulting, and projects related to human development and transformation. It has evolved in focus and grew global in 2022 as part of a grant awarded by the US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. The core principles of the Purpose Lab drive the consulting and training I do for organizations and schools around the world. My approach to transformation for both groups and individuals (in coaching and workshop settings) involves mindfulness/meditation, breathwork, visualization, subconscious reprogramming, somatics, authentic relating, and more.

ben's TENManaging Editor, Writer, Blogger
Dec. 2008 - Dec. 2010This was a personal pet project in which I managed a blog that covered a broad array of topics under the umbrella of "health, creativity, spirituality." It included everything from movie and book reviews to interviews with "edge-thinkers" within those topics. I learned from the ground up on this project how to integrate all forms of social media, including a regular e-zine (electronic newsletter).

Project Manager, Technical Writer, QA Analyst
MetaSolv SoftwareProject Manager, Technical Writer, QA Analyst
Jan. 1998 - Jan. 2003This was the launch of my corporate career right out of college. I started as an entry-level technical writer but as my experience and expertise increased many other roles opened up, including Team Lead for a group of technical writers over a major part of the software platform. My international interests and fluent Spanish eventually led me to our translation and localization department, where I was project manager for the translation of the software package for non-English speaking markets. Managing both internal and external teams of translators was a major challenge and also great fun. As the international market cooled down I migrated over to the QA/Testing department and supported the Quality Assurance efforts with a special focus on how our international versions functioned.
