Ben is the third of six children born to Steve and Jeanne Langhofer in Wichita, KS. While Ben was growing up, Wichita was known as "The Abortion Capital of the World." Wanting to offer a haven of hope to distressed birth moms, Ben's parents founded The Pregnancy Crisis Center (now known as Embrace) in 1985. Embrace is now the largest Pregnancy Resource Center of its kind in the midwest.
In 2003, Ben learned he'd been born with a chromosomal variation known as 47XXY (Klinefelter's Syndrome) which causes sterility. Ben and his wife wasted no time and adopted their first child, Noah Benjamin, in 2004. By 2008, they'd been privileged to adopt Elizabeth Grace and Isaac Rome.
By 2011, Ben faced the difficult circumstance of becoming a single dad. Through his experiences, he developed a deep love and compassion for the mothers who faced the painful decision of placing their children in adoption.
Ben is the Founder & CEO of Creed Culture and creator of the Family Pillars Framework, a guided experience that helps parents define their family's Mission, Vision, Core Values, and Code of Conduct.
