    Ben Mathewson

    I am a proud husband and father of 7 beautiful children. I love to garden, sketch, read and imagine. I love stories- histories, made up stories, and especially true stories! I have very varied interests ranging from horticulture to politics, and Music is a major part of my life. Totally love jazz but listen to hip hop, country and classical music. My dream is to write for a living, and impress everyone with how unnaturally large my vegetables are! :)Ben.
