At University of Utah he studied jazz guitar as part of their jazz ensembles while also spending his free time learning from top jazz guitar players such as Herbie Hancock.

Benjamin first encountered Maeyoka Brightheart on a lovely June afternoon, where they instantly fell in love and now spend their days tending hives, harvesting plants and creating medicines from nature’s bounty.
