Benjamin German Email & Phone Number

I am from Temperance, Michigan, and I graduated from Temperance Bedford High School in 2017. Go Mules!I am currently a junior at Siena Heights University, majoring in Special Education (Learning Disabilities) and minoring in Elementary Education.After two years on the Saints Varsity Men's Basketball team, I was hit with a career-ending injury. Instead of walking away from the game, I took on a support role from the bench, doing whatever I could to help the players and coaching staff. Because of this, I have just been promoted to a member of the basketball staff, working as the Director of Player Operations. I am very excited about everything this opportunity brings.In the summers, I travel throughout the Midwest and work as a counselor for McCracken Basketball Camps. I started attending the camps when I was three years old! I was exhibiting a lot of patience for the young campers, so the director started assigning me to work with kids that had a little tougher time, whether it be their skills, attitude, or behavior. I had a lot of success making the game and overall camping experience fun for them, and this is how I figured out that I would be a good fit to teach Special Education in the classroom.
