Joey Benun has always thought BIG—just like the BIG numbers he loves so much. He’s been fascinated with numbers since he was five years old—the bigger, the better. A fortuitous conversation with his niece and nephews inspired him to think EVEN BIGGER and introduce children of all ages to the fun and fascination of large numbers. Thus, Pebbles and the Biggest Number was born!
Years before Pebbles took flight, nine-year-old Joey penned a comic series about a disgruntled ketchup packet. Transformed into The Ketchup Monster after being carelessly discarded, it wasn't long before his imaginative tale had both friends and teachers vying for a copy.
Currently, Joey resides in Brooklyn, New York, overseeing Amazon accounts for his family's apparel business, The Bentex Group. Outside work, he enjoys engaging in religious studies, listening to TED Talks, and playing tennis.
