Hey there! I’m Ben, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my world. I’m a writer and avid learner with a passion for exploring diverse cultures, places, and intriguing topics. My journey led me to create six blogs covering Architecture, Martial Arts, Food, Music, History & Travel, and a business intelligence and leadership blog called Hickam’s Dictum.
In the realm of sports, I’m the mind behind the GOAT Index, a performance scoring system I crafted in 2016 to evaluate and rank NBA players based on both regular season and playoff metrics. I’m committed to updating scores every NBA season and continuously refining the formulas.
I also dabble in product design; a few years ago, I launched Gorgeous Phone Cases, a line for iPhone’s and Samsung. Creating and promoting these cases through conceptualizing and shooting video promos was an absolute blast.
In the literary world, I penned the thrilling novel, “Eteka: Rise of the Imamba,” an action-packed historical tale spanning the Cold War and the 1990s. It’s a global adventure filled with cultural and historical references – grab your copy on Amazon or Goodreads and share your thoughts with me!
Beyond my creative pursuits, I’ve been a strategist and analyst for nearly two decades, contributing to the success of global brands across diverse industries. Check out my thoughts on the synergy between GenAI and Machine Learning, two fields in the AI family and hot topics right now in the business and tech worlds! Family comes first when I’m not working, and I find joy in video games, technology, and well-crafted television series and animated movies.
I’m also very passionate about standing up against bullying in all its forms. I’ve developed an anti-workplace bullying video playlist on my Hickam’s Dictum YouTube channel and published a series of articles on the topic, aiming to create more awareness and foster healthier workplaces.
I also enjoy writing poetry and prose, and I share some of my creations on my YouTube poetry playlist – follow along if you’re a poetry lover! Looking ahead, my dreams include writing and directing my own show and collaborating on a game IP with a cool studio. Oh, and I secretly aspire to be cast as the main villain in a James Bond movie – a smile for that one!
Thanks for stopping by. Connect with me on Facebook to stay updated on my projects. I hope you enjoy diving into my creations, musings, and research. Wishing you all the best!
