Blake Anderson

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Blake Anderson earned his B.S. in Mathematics from the University of Washington before building a 30-year career in the tech industry, including more than two decades at Microsoft, where he worked across teams spanning Office, Bing, Xbox, and Azure.

Blake is the author of Thriving Moving Forward and the upcoming speculative fiction novel The Great Awakening. His work explores transformation—personal and societal—through themes of truth, responsibility, belonging, and the tension between fear and compassion. Blending philosophical depth with grounded realism, his stories invite readers to question assumptions and reimagine what’s possible.

In addition to writing, Blake is the founder of Honu Perspective, a holistic Life and Wellness Coaching practice. He holds certifications from the Mayo Clinic and Elite Coaching University, and works with clients seeking clarity, agency, and meaningful change across the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions of life.
