Benny went to his first paintball game when he was 13 or 14 and quickly got hooked. From 1999 - 2004 he played a significant amount of rogue woodsball and local games in upstate NY. In 2007 he started hitting big games and started the youtube channel SPBTV. The original channel consisted mostly of videos made at home discussing upcoming games, reviewing fields or equipment modifications. In 2010 he moved to Sweden to pursue a graduate degree. Since then he has been posting mostly footage from paintball games all over Europe and expanding the channel to include the other members/contributors and the other sites, such as Facebook and these blogs. He is a seasoned woodsball player, veteran of over sixty big game and scenario events. Several leadership roles, multiple awards and extensive international playing experience.
