Ian Ruder

I’ve had the good fortune to be a part of the New Mobility team for the last decade, including the last three as the editor. In that role I’ve focused on making sure NM has its fingers on the pulse of the mobility disability community. I take pride in ensuring that we are sharing stories and resources that help our readers live their lives to the fullest. When I’m not talking with our freelancers and staff or working at my computer, there’s a good chance you’ll find me seeking out one of Oregon’s famous “sunbreaks” in my hometown of Portland. I love to eat and cook (in that order) and embrace my nerdy side with a lifelong passion for Star Wars and a rediscovered adult love of Legos.
