Ben Olsen

After 16 years of acting, which had taken him from a small Television series in Texas to the New York theater scene, a life changing experience prompted Ben to return to Texas in 2000. He spent a year teaching Theater and Speech at a private Christian school and working in a Pre-school/Daycare. The next several years found Ben traveling the world as a missionary, as well as, working with a counseling team as a part of CrossWays Ministries Highway Seminar. In 2005 he joined Wilderness Expeditions of Salida, Colorado as a professional wilderness guide. Presently, Ben is putting together a month long training program for future missionaries and leaders as a part of CrossWays. This will incorporate an intensive personal growth seminar, outdoor adventure, and world mission outreach.
