Ben Bauer

Ben is a creative professional, community volunteer, and proud Rotary member inspired by the spirit of “Service Above Self.” Mary’s Bright Idea is his first book, and he couldn’t be more grateful or excited about the joy it may bring to families and the good it will do for local organizations. Ben and his wife, Katie, love exploring the Wisconsin outdoors with their two children, spending their time biking, running, hiking, and camping together. He hopes this story sparks kindness, connection, and a little extra light in the world.
