Casual About Me
I was born in the late 70's in January in upstate NY in the snow, so I think I am born to dislike winter. My middle name is Edward after my father. I now live and work in Brooklyn, NY. I look at the world through a different lens forcing me to think in a unique way, make stuff, break stuff and capture images. I ride a motorcycle, race cars and fly planes. I hate to do things I don't like. So often, I try not to. I enjoy duck meatloaf as often as I can. I like things that are old and functional. I hate Facebook. I have placed a foot in Spain, England, Canada, Costa Rica, Rwanda and Ethiopia as well as 30 US States. I want to ride from North America to South America and through the Yukon on my motorbike. I want to fly bush in Alaska. I started a company that makes stuff that solves complex issues for people. It keeps me busy and let's me employ a bunch of great people. I started an organization that helps raise awareness about global health care. I want to solve the world's ills, as mine (and probably yours) are not that bad.
Thank you for listening.
