A violinist, cook, martial artist (judo and aikido), programmer, and food-lover, Benton is originally from Lynchburg, VA. After graduating from the University of Richmond, he spent five years in Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan, where he taught English and met and married his wife Nozomi, an accomplished Japanese calligrapher. Morgan and Nozomi have two bilingual daughters who are as different as the lands of the rising and setting suns.
