Note from Aaron Covrett

I was just a young summer intern when I first met Ben - feeling overwhelmed in a new city.

From the start, Ben was a generous leader with his time and his focus: making sure I was settled and growing into the role. The team at Stink clearly adored him, and before long, it was easy to see why.

Later that summer, when Ben learned that my long-distance partner was visiting NY, he didn’t just give me the day off - he surprised us with dinner reservations, paid for in advance. (Who does that?!) The weight of that kindness still astounds me.

Years later, after parting ways, our paths overlapped again. To no surprise, Ben’s unique flavor of genuine kindness, humor, and taste in music never skipped a beat.

He’ll be forever missed.
