I started writing as a sophomore at Poly Prep high school in Brooklyn, NY. Now I study English at Tufts University in Medford/Somerville, Mass. and cover sports and sandwiches for the Tufts Daily.
At Patch this summer I'll be covering sports and farms, as well as breaking news in Lexington and various off-beat topics.
Feel free to give me a call at 646-765-3963 or e-mail me at benjamin.kochman@patch.com with any tips, or just, you know, to say hey.
