Meet the Authors: Amir and Aaron

For the next six shows founder Cindy Stradling will inteview the members of the Athena Alliance and friends of the Alliance who participated in writing the first Athena Alliance book "Blind Spots ~ Solving Hidden Business Problems" that will launch in the fall.

AMIR AHMED (Friend of the Alliance)

Amir doesn’t like to talk about himself too much, but what the heck, here goes.

Amir is a wandering writer. He travels far and wide, completing writing projects, and proselytizing the em dash. He studied writing and communication in university, and the experience taught him to love clear, honest communication. He tries not to touch buzzwords without protective gear. Outside of work, Amir enjoys writing, running, and martial arts. His most heartfelt goals include writing bad fantasy novels, outracing his dad in a marathon, and one day throwing a proper punch.

AARON PEDERSON (Friend of the Alliance)

Aaron is a freelance writer and sub-contractor copywriter. After graduating from University with a focus on writing and philosophy, he did some internship work for Claire Sookman of Virtual Team Builders. Now he writes web-copy for sincere businesspeople and takes on other creative assignments and projects. In his spare time, Aaron enjoys reading, blogging, and playing beer league ice hockey. His biggest career goal is writing a novel that might be worthy of life outside a desk drawer.
