Hi there! I’m Ben and my trail name is Flapjack Daniels. It stems from my love of making pancakes while on the trail and from my other love/problem with a certain Tennessee sour mash.

I’m a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati and currently work at an engineering firm here in Cincinnati while still working part time at RRT. In my spare time I help lead and organize trips through the UC Mountaineering Club.

I travel A LOT and I love to talk to people about trips and planning their next adventure. So, if you’re ever in the shop and have a question, feel free to strike  up a conversation.
