Being the editor of NEW MOBILITY is no small task, and Ian Ruder embraces the role. He plans each issue, mentors writers (like me), advocates for our readers and so much more.
In our interview, Ruder takes us behind the scenes of the magazine and shares how he got to where he is. He also talks about his love of cookies, his favorite hobby and gives advice to aspiring writers.
Here are five quick Q’s for Ruder
Who is one person dead or alive that you would love to interview for NEW MOBILITY?
I would love to get FDR’s take on modern day disability.
How do you unwind after a busy work week?
I am a sucker for terrible action movies.
Favorite piece of adaptive equipment?
Either my typing aids or the glovebox compartment I designed for my wheelchair.
Funniest story pitch you have received?
Someone who should have known better pitched me a cover feature on the person who was currently on the cover of the magazine.
Best advice you’ve received from a fellow chair user?
Never trust a quad with worn out soles on their shoes.
