Ben Sommers
Ben Sommers is a proud Wisconsin native who also lived and worked in Oregon, Montana, Nicaragua, and Michigan before coming to Maryland in 2017. He earned a BS studying agriculture, geography, and biology at Eastern Oregon University. Ben's professional experiences have been diverse--working for various anti-poverty and anti-hunger nonprofit organizations and small agriculture-related businesses. Food security, community education, and sustainability have been a part of everything he has done, and he is excited to continue that work with Baltimore City Public Schools. He is also a percussionist, homebrewer, and gardener. His best place is on a river with fishing rod in hand, or walking through a forest observing all the flora and fauna around him.
