Bem vindo a Ben's!

I live in NYC. Originally from Texas. Spend a lot of time in Oklahoma, where I work. I love to travel and meeting new people. Big tennis fan and movie buff. I'm a director/producer/writer of TV commercials, theater, film and web videos. I also am Executive Director of a short film festival, NYC PictureStart Film Festival as well as Founder/Executive Director of Tulsa American Film Festival.

I have a small 1 bedroom apt in the Lower East Side in Manhattan. I rent out my apartment two ways - as a full on rental during the year when I am traveling, or as a shared situation for those traveling alone and want a safe, clean, cool place to crash while you are checking out NYC. The latter option is good for people looking for cheap place to stay while interning, here on business, or as a place to stay while looking for something more permanent.

I'm very open minded, liberal, laid back and respectful. All welcome.
