Zach Benson--Worship and Creative Arts Ministries I'm almost 23 in my 4th year here at Auburn in Animal Science Pre-Vet (Lord willing) and I’m from Macon, Georgia. I started playing music sometime around the 7th grade and have been doing it ever since. It’s been amazing to see the Lord’s provision and faithfulness in this area of my life. I’ve had some great opportunities to serve the Lord in music. Who are the biggest influences in your life: Passion’s Louie Giglio. My HS youth pastor Chris Spearman. Encounter’s Matt Dean. Nemo from “Finding Nemo” he was little and I’m far from tall so he is an inspiration to us who are “vertically challenged” or just wanna be THAT much taller! Favorite book: I’ll just say my current read: Erwin McManus’ “Barbarian Way.” I’m pretty partial to the Bible I suppose, its practically LIFE’S TRUTH! What's on your iPod: Hillsong United stuff of course, love those guys. In fact, it’s my goal to have 10 million lead worshipers on stage at Journey one day just as they do? Best Movie Ever: That’s a tuff one... I suppose “Dumb and Dumber” it’s a classic! Yes ladies, I did also enjoy “The Notebook” and I'm very much single? Eric has my number... Secret Ambition: To take over the world! Paper or Plastic: Plastic of course! I can’t tell you how many uses you can get out of those things Favorite TV show: “24” and “The Office” Favorite pastime/hobby: much to Eric’s surprise, I'm a golfer ; apparently he thinks musicians can’t play sports?
