Born 1986, raised in California's eastern Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes. Co-founded Nimbus Independent, an art-forward ski film company, in 2007 with fellow pros Eric Pollard, Pep Fujas, and Andy Mahre. Created the psychedelic hand-painted topsheet artwork for Atomic's Bent Chetler pro-model ski line and was later appointed Atomic's creative director of freeskiing. Also sponsored by Arc'teryx and Dragon (eyewear/goggles), among others (Mammoth Mountain, GoPro, SmartWool). Married to pro snowboarder Kimmy Fasani; the two co-founded the Benchetler Fasani Foundation (BFF) in 2022 after her breast cancer diagnosis, connecting people healing from loss or hardship with the outdoors -- a meaningful dimension the flat claim doesn't capture.
