Ben Fuller lives in Farmington, Utah. He is the Director of Client Services and Chief Strategist for mediaRif.com, a digital creative agency. He also is heavily involved in the local arts scene producing live comedy/music shows and events. He has two sons that live in Atlanta - they both grew up way too fast (he blames McDonald's). He is a slightly lapsed aspiring filmmaker, an on-hiatus Chinese Marital Arts enthusiast / instructor, and is graying (greying?) much too young for his tastes, and is still saddened about the too early death of Jim Henson. He is on the Board of Directors for the Gangrene Comedy Film Festival (currently going on its 16th year in existence) and also sits on the Advisory Board, School of Arts, Communications and Media for Salt Lake Community College, and is one of the co-founders (with Craig Nybo, Mike Terrell, and Larry Nybo) of Quirky Engine Entertainment, publisher of CHOPS - the Rock & Roll Board Game.
