Men’s Style Director
What clients are saying: “I liked how Ben took my preferences into account and built off of them. There were certain items at the store that he liked, but immediately knew they didn’t match my preference, and he didn’t push them on me at all. He found what worked for me and helped me refine my existing style preference.” – Max
“Although we’ve worn clothes our entire lives, we don’t necessarily know how to dress. I’ve recently undergone some body changes, and my self-esteem was at an all-time low. Ben helped me identify clothes I owned that could stay, clothes that needed to go, and found new clothes that put it all together!” – Meredith
Ben has been styling both women and men in the Columbus area for over a decade. After sales positions with various national clothing brands, he eventually built a loyal following at Nordstrom, where he helped entire families prepare for all of life’s celebrations and meaningful events. Ben particularly understands the wardrobe nuances of new beginnings, weddings, and professional advancements. He fosters relationships where he can utilize a blend of listening skills and friendly rapport to make people look and feel their best.
He currently lives in Columbus with his husband and son.
Style Philosophy: Your style should be authentically you. I want to help people look and feel good, from their kids’ soccer games to lunch with colleagues and rooftop drinks with their friends.
Style Icon: John Legend, Tom Ford
Favorite Label: Brunello Cucinelli
Most Meaningful Item in My Wardrobe: The watch my husband proposed to me with is stunning and timeless. I hope to pass it on to my son one day. I also love the tie I wore for my wedding. I feel special when I wear it, and it’s a great story when I get compliments on it.
Favorite Jeans: Fidelity’s Jimmy fit jeans. I love denim and finding the pair that fits like a glove.
Biggest Splurge: My Magnanni Chelsea boots. Saw them — had to have them immediately.
Greatest Steal: My Vince track jacket, I found it at a reduced price in NYC!
Perfect Saturday: Morning coffee on the front porch with Drew and Elliott, afternoon at the pool, then dinner with friends and their families.
Favorite Food to Make: Pizza with my family recipe sauce. My family owned a small restaurant in western Ohio for over 40 years. They were known for their pizza and people would come from miles away to get it. I’m really proud of what my grandparents and parents built and the values they instilled in me.
Band You Wish to Meet Backstage: The Decemberists or Janet Jackson.
My Life in a Hashtag: #keepingupwiththekid
Words to Live By: “People will forget what you said, People will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
