Ben Trevayne: Bootsnall Author: Bonus Year
Ben was raised in Indiana: the heartlands of America and the armpit of the world. At the first opportunity he escaped from the corn field prison of his homeland to go to Rice University in Houston for school. (Anyone from Houston, give him a holler at pmayor@rice.edu). At Rice he is an itinerant philosophy and econ major.
Most of his spare time is spent doing as little as possible. When not doing that he reads voraciously, works as a waiter, and occasionally attends enough classes to maintain his status as a student – the ticket to perpetual irresponsibility.
He is a relatively novice world traveler: his recent Christmas trip to Australia being his only non-North American travel to date. It is a situation he intends to remedy immediately.
