Benjamin Burton began his fitness journey when he was in middle school where he started skateboarding and training Parkour with his older brothers. While climbing trees, tricking on the grass and skating on the concrete, he developed his fundamental athletic skills. After graduating high school, he moved to Oregon for school where he studied Spanish and Film Production. While in school, he bean coaching and training for American Ninja Warrior. After applying to be on season 13, he was accepted but unfortunately fell in the water and his run didn't make it into the final cut of the show. After graduation, he moved to Spain to teach English. Now that he's back, he's excited to teach and train to get back on American Ninja Warrior!
