Hi, my name is Ben Atkins. I was born in Pomona, California, but grew up near Boston, Massachusetts. I attended Beaver Country Day School in Chestnut Hill, MA, for high school and graduated in 2004. I then moved on to become enrolled at Union College in Schenectady, NY, graduating in 2008. I received a BS in Computer Science and Visual Art. I have worked for several companies including Source Code Company, Peripheral Parts Support, and most recently ID Tech Camps. Currently, I work as a software engineer for OneVision Software. In my free time I enjoy playing sports, running, hanging out with friends, and making art. I'm a big fan of music and enjoy going to see live bands and playing guitar. I am also a designer/artist with experience making web sites (see the web section), and am willing to take on web design or other computer related projects for a fee (see the contact section).
