Joining the Ambassador team in 2022, Ben Bryggman celebrated a new job just as he and wife, Carolina, welcomed their first child, Alina Mae. Two years later, Amia Rose was added to the quiver that also includes a beloved Husky, Lila.

We’re grateful that a growing family was motivation for Ben to move from serving as producer for Hugh Hewitt’s show to more family-friendly work hours. Having studied at The Academy of Radio & Television Broadcasting locally, his initial hiring coincided with needs for Amb-OS staffing where he continues to be highly involved with the team. And his production skills remain utilized as he serves in that role for several of the short features Ambassador is privileged to produce.

However, his willing spirit and gifted PR skills also made for a logical amplification of his assignments, regularly participating with our Marketing team in station interface, particularly leading in the fulfillment of all promotions requests.

A devoted dad (and husband), ask Ben about his girls and you are sure to hear the latest tales of their adventures. As a young family, they enjoy the scope of outdoor activities that life in SoCal affords.

To get to know Ben even better, we asked him to share. . .

When the house is quiet, I really enjoy . . . spending time with my wife one-on-one (rare these days) or sitting on our patio looking at the sky at night. Time spent together help us remain on the same page, while staring at the sky is a great “reset” to get my thoughts together.

Someone who’s made a real impact on my life is . . . my parents. Being a parent myself now helps me appreciate how my parents raised me and instilled values in me without me realizing that was what was happening it at the time!

As a new dad, my biggest concern is . . . being enough. Being enough dad for my kids, but also enough husband for my wife. Finding and continuously learning how to do the best job I can for all of them. I know I’m up for it, but I’ve never done anything like this before. I never stop learning!

As an early riser, I can’t get through the day without . . . coffee. And updates on what my ladies are up to at home throughout the day, via pictures of our daughters and pup help get me through.
