My name is Benjamin. I'm a graduate of Kent State University; I currently have a part-time job at Giant Eagle as a utility clerk.
I'm also a member of my area's Writer's Guild.

I rediscovered my abilities in writing during my college years and began writing stories and poems again.
In addition, I am an avid tabletop role-playing game player. Over time, I became a Dungeon Master.
I started to create custom worlds for my games and I would like to take it to the next level.
I have been working on a novel series as well.

I do read comic books and manga. But I do occasionally read some short stories and poems.
In college, I had studied Sociology and have used what I have learned in my writing.

I grew up partly in Germany, which sparked my fascination by languages, cultures, foreign currencies, and the like. While I ended up in physics for a career, I like designing banknotes, maps, passports, and the like and tend to come up with countries and languages to have excuses for such. Hobbies include numismatics, travel, and video games.

I want to be a linguist, which actually happened when I stumbled across conlanging. Since then, I've fallen deeper and deeper into an adoration of worldbuilding.

I was first interested in conlanging through Esperanto, world creation through Tolkien, and sci-fi television. Sci-fi and fantasy are my favorite genres. Studied Japanese in school, but no degree.

I mostly like conlanging. I'm a linguistics student.

I'm a linguist. Currently, I'm working on my PhD (the sociolinguistics of conlangs).

I conlang, study linguistics, write computer programs professionally and for fun, write stories, and dabble in mathematics and graphic art. Inspired in my childhood by the fantasy worldbuildling of Tolkien and Mark Rosenfelder, I've been (slowly, steadily) working on my own conworlding project of Arzhanø. Saimiar is the conlang of mine closest to my heart.

As of the moment of this writing, I am reasearching Celtic cultures and languages for use in a future novel of mine.  That's what I want to do with my life: be a novelist.

My interest is actually in all things related to language and culture. I studied anthropology, modern language, and religion in college and I guess, my world hasn't been the same since.
