Born into a gaming family- his whole family played videogames- Ben played many different videogames as a youngster, and was an avid reader of game magazines too; it was in 1998 that he first learned of F-Zero X, and in the much-beloved N64 Magazine (now NGC Magazine) he discovered the name of David van Moer, holder of every record at F-Zero X in the magazine at the time. Ben's appetite for X competition had started.

Fast forward to 2003, and Ben gets internet for the first time. He typed van Moer's name into Google, and he found the now-defunct F-Zero ranking site, FZeroCentral (which was run by Dave Crawford). Ben immediately entered his times into the X ladder, and debuted in a strong 54th, out of over 100 players. Ben also discovered the DT technique himself without the site's help, and after months of competing climbed to 25th position. Ben also made his MV debut at this time, debuting inside the top 200 of over 400 players, and in one particular week made an AF cut of over 60 points, but did not take the game seriously at the time (hehe).
