Early Life
BearcatBen was born on June 19, 1987, in Zuidschipp-Lijkebinnen-Vaarthave, Voskad to working-class Dutch parents. Raised in the small town of Leeg Rijk, his family could not afford basic necessities. This forced BearcatBen to become a coal miner at the age of 9. At age 14, he invented a new way to extract coal efficiently and sold it to the Klassieke Kolenwinning Bedrijf for millions. This lifted BearcatBen's family out of poverty. With these newfound riches, BearcatBen attended the University of Carabou in Nandels Port, majoring in business and economics, minoring in chemistry. He graduated magna cum laude in 2009.

Business Career
Immediately following his graduation, BearcatBen became CFO of Klassieke Kolenwinning Bedrijf. As CFO in 2010, he cut off all benefits to workers in what he called, "The worker's rights to financial independence from the KKB." This sparked a coal miner's strike in Doggerland, which was ended when the KKB gave in and provided the coal miner's with healthcare and a salary. It was reported by DNN that BearCatBen massively enriched himself in the process, earning a 2 million euro pay increase between the cutting of the benefits and returning the benefits.

In 2014, following the retirement of Lotte de Haan, BearCatBen was promoted to CEO of Klassieke Kolenwinning Bedrijf. This sparked the first of many strikes during his time as CEO. He reduced healthcare benefits until they were virtually nonexistent while driving profits down to the break-even point by obsessively undercutting all competitors, this proceeded to cause a temporary coal glut that lasted through March 2015. BearcatBen was also accused of allegedly promoting a sexist work culture that promoted harassment and assault. BearCatBen stepped down in January 2021 for the pursuit of political goals.

(This is going to be changed at a later date).
