Benjamin started his career as a national news director working in high-end television and video production, and from 16 to 18 was the youngest director for two different national television stations. His passion lay with the actual equipment: the $500,000 switchers and $250,000 cameras, so he moved into studio design and integration. As the television industry started to move away from tape and onto hard drives, so did Benjamin. From 1998-2005 Benjamin worked for an audio-video integration designing and deploying glass-to-glass digital production facilities which employed the latest in networking and digital video technology helping to rid stations of cumbersome analog tape and distribution. In 2005 he decided to make a slight career shift and move from video networking to data networking for WhereToLive.com and is currently their Director of New Technology. Being a gadget geek, Benjamin gets to play with the latest phones, computers, VoIP and networking solutions on a daily basis and often writes about them at TechnologyEvangelist.com.
