He was born in Cottage Grove, Oregon on January 11, 1991 to Dennis and Pratrina Benson Haren. He was an inquisitive intelligent little boy and was asked to skip a grade in school when he was young.

He had just started his business of personalized computer programming when he was diagnosed with cancer.
