Ben Grannis is a 27-year-old Eagle Scout from Ridgefield, Connecticut. He is in the midst of a 6,000+ mile bike ride (called Eyes Up Ride) around the US to raise awareness for distracted driving and promote digital wellness in partnership with a nonprofit called TextLess Live More and have raised $39,000 to fight distracted driving.

In addition to ending distracted driving, Ben’s goal is to show people it's okay to do something scary and uncomfortable and that there is a tremendous amount of growth that can occur when we follow our hearts, embrace vulnerability, and live Eyes Up.

Most recently, Ben learned the challenges and stages of a knee injury that set him back over six months and just got back on the bike last month. "Look. Listen. Live." is the Eyes Up Ride mantra and Ben is committed to showing that anything is possible and it starts with looking up from your phone.
