Benson is 31 years old and is passionate about life. He was born in Hong Kong, but grew up in Montreal, Canada, the city of two-cheek kisses, French flair and poutine. He moved to Seattle over three years ago and loves it here, but misses snowy Christmas holidays. He is a product manager for a large social networking company and can geek-out about social media and tech. 

He enjoys weekend road trips, wine-tasting, photography, hikes with spectacular views and experimenting in the kitchen. His most memorable adventures include crashing a wedding in an Egyptian village, relaxing on the Nile in a bare-bones sailboat, tuk-tuking around in Bangkok and humbly hiking to the top of Mt. Washington.  After getting his motorcycle license recently, next on his list is skydiving. Some of his weaknesses include fine chocolate, horrendous karaoke and Sunday naps in a park.
