About
Ben was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland. His family moved to Kismet Harbor when he was about six. Growing Ben was often outgoing and social. Somethings came easily to him especially school. He had an energy and vibe around him that others felt comfortable around and that helped him in becoming popular. Ben tends to be more of an observer, watching people and reading people. He is kind, sweet and loyal.
Growing up and being raised the way he was, Ben became family oriented. Family was everything to him and he would do anything for them. He is closer to his two younger brothers who he tells things to, and they have a strong bond. They are someone that Ben could always talk to without fear.
During High school Ben lost one of his best and closest friends. This was someone he truly cared about and would do anything for. Ben blames himself for their death because he was the one that suggest their trip and he watch them die. He has so much guilt over that. After his best friend’s death, Ben became more reserve and quieter, keeping things in and shutting a part of himself and emotions thinking he deserved to be punished. This also led to a bit of overdrinking, and self-destructive habits. This was the time the Ben also got diagnosed with his mental illness which his drinking did not help at all.
During high school Ben discovered his love for cooking. At first, he and his brother always talked and joked about starting a contractor business due to how handy they were and always built things together, but faith had a different plan for them. Ben decided to learn to become a chef and got into one of the top culinary schools. Ben was talented enough that he landed a job working and being mentored by an amazing chef in England. He worked under for two years after he completed culinary school. After working under the chef, he returned home and got a job as a chef loving what he does. Ben was happy and things were going well.
Ben was surprised when his brother came out to him and chose his brother’s side after they came out to the rest of their families. Ben told his brother that they were always his brother, and nothing changed between them. He supported his brother and cheered him on. It did hurt him seeing how their father reacted to Andrew coming out and how his mother took their father’s side.
Ben had discovered since he was a teenager that he was not totally straight and kept that a secret. It was a part of himself that he locked away due to his irrational fear and his mental state which was not too stable. Ben left town for a few months to handle some business but came back. Now he is back in Kismet Harbor to be there for his family and fully take ownership of The Neptune Oyster. He also plans on being honest and open with his brothers and himself in relation to the part of himself he had kept locked up.
