Ben Richardson, born in Miami, where his parents were musicians and his grandmother who was from Canada encouraged him to get into the sport of curling.
Richardson would have an accomplished junior career as a four-time national junior champion (2017-2020) including winning a silver medal representing Team USA at the 2017 world junior men’s curling championships. He also represented the United States at the Winter Youth Olympic Games Lillehammer 2016 winning a silver medal in the mixed youth team competition.
