About Me

My name is Benjamin Bekken, i am a 22 year old guy from Trondheim, Norway. I am a huge fan of sports, and specially football, handball and ski, where handball is my true passion. I have played handball all my life and i really couldnt see my life without it. So my love for sports has always been high.

 

  I am also a huge fan of media, and specially filmmaking, and i am currently a bachelorstudent in Media & communication studies at NTNU, Trondheim.​ Which i find very exciting! At the same time as i am studying at school i am working at NTNUs career department as a video producer. I have previously been Manager at TGI Fridays in Trondheim and worked for my aunt's company Solgruppen, which is also established in Trondheim.

​

 

I also started a side-project of mine called The Croft Group™ in 2018. It is a media project that has seven main areas where gaming, movies, graphic design, music, photos and sports are the main genres. You can read more about my project on their website.

​

At my free time i like to work out a lot, at the same time as i like to make videos and media related things, which i enjoy making a lot. Im a huge fan of traveling and love visiting new places and environments. The greatest fun on my travels is also meeting and getting to know new people.
