Benjamin grew up in Michigan, USA and is a 2019 graduate of Martin Luther College. He has spent much of the time since then in a master’s degree program at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary, though he has also had opportunities to teach at Hangzhou Normal University in China and to complete a practicum in Toronto, Canada.
He enjoys language learning, and he has spent time studying Latin, German, Greek, Hebrew, Chinese, and Russian. He also enjoys music, and he is hopeful that he will be able to develop his skills at guitar and violin during his free time.
He is married to Heidi Kieta, who also serves as a teacher with Bilingual.
