G3 Instructors

Ben Smith has been hiding from all adult responsibility since 1999, when he joined Electronic Arts as a Customer Support Representative.  Unfortunately, while lying low in Redwood City Ben stumbled into a real career, eventually spending 9 years guiding externally produced games to market within the EA Partners team.  In 2014, Ben decided it was time to join Guinevere at OnlineG3 and left the corporate world. All that video game stuff has, after all, been a real departure from Ben’s scholarly training at U.C, Berkeley, where he had earned a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cell Biology (Genetics emphasis) and a Minor in Education, while just narrowly missing a double major in History by a single course. 

After a 15-year hiatus from education, Ben is delighted to now be the principal history and science teacher at Online G3, and continuing to expand our multidisciplinary offerings. Forced to abandon his outside-the-house hobbies during the pandemic, he decided to go back to school, earning a Master’s degree from Gettysburg College in American History in December of 2023.

At OnlineG3.com, Ben is known to his students as Headmaster Galahad.  He teaches history, science, and business classes at G3. He is also the Vice President and COO of Online G3, Inc.
