Ben Kvanli competed in kayaking events at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and on the Whitewater Slalom World Cup circuit and World Championships.

Today, Kvanli serves as an American Canoe Association whitewater instructor. His involvements with the paddlesports industry include the Red River Racing Club and the Power Olympic Outdoor Center in San Marcos. He also volunteers with the Team River Runner program, which teaches returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans how to paddle as part of their physical therapy. Along with his wife, Michelle, Kvanli also runs a nonprofit paddling school.
