After being awarded a scholarship to Miami University, he decided to focus on both academics and training. Although initially excelling as a freshman, injuries soon began limiting him. One credit hour shy of meeting requirements to maintain his scholarship, lonely feelings began creeping back.

Personal Life

Ben was awarded a running scholarship at Miami University, a mid-major Division I school known for its esteemed academics and rich athletic traditions. Upon entering, Ben stunned his freshman competitors and appeared destined for greatness in cross country and track running before injury derailed him once more.
At the end of his freshman year, Ben found himself feeling isolated, dark, and depressed. After being diagnosed with schizophrenia – which affects over 20 million people worldwide – he became unable to compete and ultimately left college.
Net Worth
Net worth is a key indicator of financial health that allows individuals to track their progress over time. Calculated by subtracting liabilities from assets, it should be calculated at least annually to assess your situation.
This calculation includes all cash and investments easily accessible, such as checking, savings and retirement accounts. It also considers part of your mortgage balance if applicable – however it doesn’t include debt from credit cards, personal loans or auto loans.
