Ben grew up in Otaki and went to Paraparaumu College. He is a self-taught computer coder and at the age of 12 those skills saw him inventing a GPS wristband that allowed hospitals and visitors to trace patients. This invention won him the youth category of Wellingtonian of the Year in 2016.
After a gap year in Canada he launched his own company "Random42 Limited". The company dealt with water-monitoring technology and portable wind turbines. With many of his clients being down south, he made the move down there.
In October 2022 Ben became Gore's youngest mayor at 23 years old.
