Ben Jay, Neighbor

Ben has lived in Larchmont NY for most of his life, and graduated from Mamaroneck High School in 2008.  He is currently attending SUNY Geneseo (really, really far upstate) where he is majoring in International Relations with an Asian Studies minor (Ben has been studying Chinese since 7th grade, and he visited China in high school).  In addition to his work with Patch, Ben serves as the photo editor for the Geneseo student newspaper, <i>The Lamron</i>.  He is also involved with Geneseo&#39;s student literary magazine, MiNT, and the campus radio station, WGSU-FM

Ben is primarily a photographer by trade, specializing mainly in concert photography.  However, he does also write, primarily about music, but is interested in expanding into more breaking news stories, as well as sports.
