About Ben Underwood
I thrive working across a wide variety of responsibilities from writing to team leadership and beyond. I spent the early years of my professional life (apart from a sojourn in the world of industrial supplies) training to be a literary scholar. After leaving grad. school, I began working in the nonprofit sector, where I\'ve advanced the missions of organizations in education, human services, and criminal justice reform.
