Personal: Parents are David and Laurie Aman...Has two sisters, Jordan (1993) and Addie (1995)...Ben most admires his grandpa because, “He started from nothing and showed that hard work and dedication will always succeed. He is in his 70’s now and he is still working hard and proving that you never give up on your dreams, no matter how old you are.”
