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 create images. I ride and build motorcycles, race cars and fly planes. I hate to do things I don't like. So often, I try not to. I love to cook, BBQ, and fish, but I don't hunt. I like things that are old and functional. I hate Facebook but respect the ripple it created. I can see Saturn, Jupiter Mars and Venus from my backyard in Brooklyn. I have placed a foot in Austria, Canada, Costa Rica, Ethiopia, England, France, Germany, Italy, Rwanda, Spain, Switzerland, and Turkey as well as 30 US States on my journey to experience the Earth. I want to ride from South America to North America and throughout the Yukon on my motorbike. I want to fly bush in Alaska. I started a few companies 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.
Thanks for listening.
