Benjamin Wade is known by many names. As the
head women's soccer coach at the Southwest Baptist
University in Missouri, he is called "Coach Wade,"
but he also goes by “Maestro” due to role as an artistic
director and conductor of a California symphony orchestra. A
skilled musician, Benjamin was traveling the world playing
the trumpet before most kids could even spell
"trumpet."
Wade sees coaching as another form of manipulation.
"You have to find out what everybody wants, what
everybody needs, what they think they want, what think they
need and then you have to be the person that solves
everything." He knows these skills will be valuable in
the game of SURVIVOR.
If Benjamin was asked to wear just one hat, it would be that
of "Renaissance Man." Aside from setting the world
record for the longest solo kayak expedition on the ocean
(an amazing 6,132 miles), Wade has also been attacked by a
tiger shark, stalked by a jaguar in the Amazon and has been
bitten by a piranha on his right hand. To say that he is a
Type A, Alpha male, who likes to control the environment
around him may just be an understatement. Coach's dominant
personality will be a force to be reckoned with in the game.
Benjamin is single and currently splits his time in Bolivar,
Mo, and Susanville, Calif. His birth date is September
Jeff Probst:
Hands
down one of the most fascinating guys that's been on the show.
He is so full of himself. And he's full of himself like
Richard Hatch was. He wants to take the best to the end. And
he believes he's one of the best...and there are 3 others. And
he's gonna get 'em together and we're gonna run this game and
we'll duke it out. I wouldn't want my sister to date him...but
I love him on Survivor.
