An entrepreneur at heart, Ahren owned, or co-owned, and operated several businesses in Boise, including a saltwater fish store and aquarium service; a federally licensed retail gun store; a retail sport bike store and service operation; and, an online auction service. He always has a number of business ideas he is developing at any one time, and has a special knack for finding a need and developing a business to fill it. A hard worker, he puts in very long days on a regular basis, and understands the fine art of customer service. His near-photographic memory and high intellect, combined with his customer service and communication skills, makes Ahren a gifted sales person.

If you like to laugh, you would love to be around Ahren. His quick wit comes at lightening speed, and he can keep you in stitches for hours. When he’s with his good friend Robert, they ad lib with one another like a fine tuned comedy team. Ahren is simply fun to be around. He has a love of music . . . country, classical, jazz, rock and roll, and other types, but he especially treasures going to the opera. He rarely watches TV, but greatly enjoys movies and often goes to the local theaters. He loves being around people and if you are lucky enough to be considered a friend of Ahren's, he is loyal to the core, giving you his last dollar; loaning you his car, furniture, money or whatever you need at the time; helping you through tough times; sharing his home if you need a place to stay; and simply staying in touch and being there for you. Ahren is not much of a drinker, but does occasionally go to bars with his friends. Friends often tease him because he is never without his cell phone. His mom loved his fondness for communicating, as they spoke often, sometimes daily, and remained very close through his adulthood.

Ahren disappeared on a Saturday evening (12/04/04) when he returned to his home after dropping off his young son to the mother for the evening. Ahren had plans that evening and was going to pick up his son the next morning to continue their weekend visitation. His last phone call was at 7:15 when he talked with his roommate. He has not been seen since, but his cars were left in his driveway, and his cell phone was left behind, along with his drivers license and passport. He is listed on the FBI's NCIC system as an Endangered Missing Person.
