Ben Riddle, Neighbor

<strong>Ben Riddle</strong> breaks the mold in an effort to take his generation to new heights. At age 17, call him networking extraordinaire but don&#39;t call him crazy; Riddle has used social networking to connect with professionals and creatives around his hometown and across the nation, diving headfirst into the field of social ventures and entrepreneurship. Through collaborating with innovative thinkers on a local and global scale, Riddle shows that social barriers only exist if you create them.

Serving as Student Body Co-President of Mauldin High School, Ben builds networks that unite students and businesses with non-profits. Over the course of his high school career, Ben has designed social experiments and events to benefit Mauldin&#39;s annual Spirit Week , helping to raise over $845,000 for charities in the Southeast. Headstrong proponent of change, Riddle currently works with Greenville Forward as the developer of the HeadStrong movement, inspiring youth to &#34;Make their Mark&#34; in communities.

Think-tank and instigator; speaker, consultant and movement maker. Riddle is engaging to end apathy. Plug in. Let&#39;s inspire the future, together.
