Ben Batiste is a Marine Corps and Army veteran and former law enforcement officer based in Littleton, Colorado. After years of service in uniform, Ben continues to serve his community as a volunteer and supporter of Special Olympics Colorado, helping raise funds and awareness for the more than 30,000 athletes the organization serves statewide. A husband and father, Ben believes the best way to build community is to show up, pitch in, and occasionally pull a jet across a tarmac. This event is organized in his personal capacity in support of Special Olympics Colorado.
