Bennjin Lao
Experience Ambassador

Raised in Fort Worth, Texas, and a Nashville, Tennessee resident since the late '90's, Bennjin aspires to be a true southern gentleman. He has a deep and abiding love of travel, especially for sports, music, food, and adventure - not always in that order. When he's not exploring the incomparable music and culinary scenes of Nashville, his other passions include backwoods camping and the never-ending chase of an errantly hit tennis ball.
