Meet Our new contributors: Aaron Onken, Adam Templeton, and John Meyer

A month ago, we made an announcement that we were looking to add “a contributor.” Well, we’ve added three! It’s a pleasure to introduce you to Aaron Onken, Adam Templeton, and John Meyer: I met Aaron Onken at a Cornstalks meeting a few months ago. When he saw our announcement, he sent me an email…

A month ago, we made an announcement that we were looking to add “a contributor.” Well, we’ve added three!

It’s a pleasure to introduce you to Aaron Onken, Adam Templeton, and John Meyer:

0718_aaronI met Aaron Onken at a Cornstalks meeting a few months ago. When he saw our announcement, he sent me an email saying, “I’ve been looking for the opportunity to do some writing. Plus, I’m usually at the same events you are.” It’s evident to us that Aaron is interested in what’s happening in our community and he’s eager to report on it. We’re excited to add another contributor to cover the Omaha metro.

Although our focus began with highlighting Omaha, we’ve covered nearly a dozen startups out of our state capital, and there are dozens more to cover. We’re looking forward to having someone stationed there. And I can’t forget to mention his hustle — over the past two weeks, Adam’s already made a couple trips to Omaha to learn more about SPN.

0718_johnJohn Meyer is stationed a few hours north of us, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When I met him at Big Omaha, his enthusiasm for the event left an impression on me. In his email that followed our announcement, he wrote that he should be considered because of his “passion to showcase the great work happening right here in our own backyards.” There was no way we could turn him down. We’re very excited to begin hearing stories from the northern part of Silicon Prairie.

Please extend a warm welcome to our new contributors, and to learn more about them check out our updated “About” page: siliconprairienews.com/about.
