Ben began his career as a sports journalist in Sydney in 1999, working for a number of leading news publications before his interest was piqued by the TV poker shows that frequented the airwaves late at night. He soon found himself not only playing the game but writing about it too – taking on the role of Editor for PokerNews Australasia and subsequently visiting Macau for the very first time in 2008. 

He was appointed Managing Editor of World Gaming magazine in February 2013, subsequently overseeing then-IAG parent O MEDIA’s editorial catalogue including High Life, Hengqin Record and more. He was appointed Chief Content Officer of O MEDIA in 2017.

In 2016, Ben became Managing Editor of Inside Asian Gaming and has spent his years since then delving ever more deeply into the business of gaming. He was instrumental in the launch of the industry-leading daily e-newsletter IAG Breakfast Briefing in April 2017. He was appointed APAC Managing Editor of now-IAG parent Complete Media Group in 2025.
