Aram Bakshian, Jr is a native Washingtonian and currently is Editor in Chief of the American Speaker. He started his career as a speech writer for Chattanooga Congressman William "Bill" Brock during the 1960s. He also went on to write speeches for then Republican National Committee Chairman Senator Robert "Bob" Joseph Dole. Mr. Bakshian then went on to work within the White House under President Richard Milhous Nixon until his resignation. Aram was one of the only speechwriters kept on staff when Vice President Gerald R. Ford Jr assumed the Presidency. He then went on the lecture circuit for a number of years before being brought back for White House service. President Ronald Wilson Reagan brought Aram on as his director of speech writing for a couple of years during his first term. Mr. Bakshian to this day lends his vast knowledge of history and love of politics by continuing to lecture. He has authored a number of books and has also edited many best sellers.
