According to his LinkedIn profile, Ball started working as a planner and press assistant at Gaetz in 2018, became its press spokesman and in November 2019 its communications director.
Gaetz, who is being investigated over a possible sexual relationship with a 17-year-old and child trafficking, seems to suggest that there were some disagreements that led to his resignation and that it was a mutual decision:

Ball was also Gaetz’s deputy campaign manager, working for Ron DeSantis’s campaign.
He began his career in politics as a congressional intern.
Ball hasn’t been particularly active on Twitter, but he retweeted an anti-LGBTQ hate group and posted this a month ago:
