Christopher Gorog – Chief Executive Officer & Founder

Hello I am the founder and primary author at Logic Central online. I have a background in Engineering and Corporate business but that is only part of the reason you find me here today. I was born into a blue collar community and was a very motivated individual with not much guidance as to how to better myself other than to “just work harder than everyone around me”. So as a young person I set out determined to, out-work everyone and become a success in life. After 80+ hour workweeks for nearly 20 years lead me to a heart attack at an early age, I realized that unguided brute force of work applied at random is not the secret of success. At this re-evaluation time I reach for meaning of life and sought how I could have been more effective. In my process of assessing life I compared the things I had done that made me successful and also the more embarrassing things which may have been not so effective. My assessment of my own life lead me to write the book “Inner Logic – Engineering Your Life”, which I refer to as a guide to the things I wish I had known early in life, which would have made me more effective. My passion in life is to pass this information along to the next generation so that they can be more effective in their own lives.

Brandon Fisher – Content Provider

Hello I am the face behind many of the things that you see done here at Logic Central. You will be hearing more from me shortly as I begin my own podcast “A Modern Man”s Right of Passage”. It will focus on how young men can find a way to grow and be comfortable being a male in the modern age.

Karthik Krishna – Content Provider

One of the most fun endeavors of my life was co-building a hub for entrepreneurs in the heart of Silicon Valley and hosting professionals from Italy, Poland, France, Singapore, India, China, England and Russia.

Before I began my entrepreneurial “adventures,” I worked at a manufacturing plant and was involved in research, development and production stages of metal cutting tools; I worked together with internationally recognized research institutes (from Sweden and Israel in particular) with a focus on development of advance energy programs; I was a member of the Advanced Technology Development team at Colorado Springs Utilities; and I was an active member of a US federal government funded panel created to accelerate energy grid modernization in North Amerca.

I have a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and another in Business Administration; both received from Michigan Technological University. My education and experiences in manufacturing, energy and hospitality have given me the technical and professional skillsets necessary to navigate through today’s complex global business environments.

…AND my love for dancing helps me maintain a balanced perspective on work and life.

Khadija Hamdar – Podcaster

My name is Khadija Bazzi-Hamdar. I am 23 years old and I just recently moved to Tampa from Windsor, Canada. I was born and raised in Windsor; however, my family originates from Lebanon. I fluently speak English and Arabic with Arabic being my first language. I am the oldest of three children and I am the only daughter. I graduated from the University of Windsor in June of 2014 with a double major in Psychology and Disability Studies. I chose Psychology because I am intrigued by the human mind, thus how we act and react in our everyday experiences. I was born into a religious family practicing the religion of Islam. As I matured into my teenage and early adulthood years, I realized that Islam was the most logical and correct religion to me, and thus I identify as a Shia Muslim. I am also a hijabi; I chose to wear a hijab or scarf at the age of 9 years old, and I have been wearing it since then. It is the most precious thing in my life and as you will find out later in my podcast, it encompasses many different aspects of my social and physical self. I chose to start this podcast because the media has been focusing a lot on Islam due to recent ISIS procedures over in the Middle East. It is key to understand the difference between the fundamentalist version of Islam, and what is practiced by the 1.57 billion muslims in the world today. This podcast seeks to bridge the gap between Muslims and non-Muslims and hopefully shed some light on what are the similarities and differences between the eastern and western mentalities on culture and religion.
