My background is originally in music. I was a jazz guitarist, a composer, and all around performer. I've played with a few jazz legends, cut some records, done avant-garde theater, and written music for orchestras, film, and all manner of instrument.
Sometime around 2000, after everyone stopped freaking out over Y2K (remember that?), the internet was clearly a real thing. Digital was a thing. At my day job I was the guy who knew how to turn on the computer, so it fell to me to figure out how to make a website.
Everything changed.
Since then I've forged ahead creating interactive and video experiences for brands big and small, product launches, entertainment properties, and startups. I’ve been part of multiple technology startups, led global rebrands, and shaped the marketing and content strategies of companies in numerous industries.
When not doing all these things, I’m probably cooking and watching soccer. Currently residing in Connecticut with my family.
MAKE ME BLUSH
“Edward is one of the most creative, collaborative and incredible people I have ever had the chance to work with. He is able to take an idea or vision and bring it to life, plus some. In our time working together at Deluxe, he elevated every project he touched and helped elevate those around him. Edward is a strategic and thoughtful partner who maintains focus on priorities and the end result. I can only hope our professional paths will cross again!”

“Working with and for Ed has been a profound professional growth experience. His unique skillset of deep marketing insights and keen predictive UX/UI sensibilities made managing Product development all the more robust of an experience.

“Edward is a true innovator. He is spearheading the build of an incredibly unique and powerful solution to the music marketplace through the upcoming version of Slyde, and I'm lucky to play a small part in making it happen. In working with Ed, I've been witness to his clarity of thinking, insightfulness, creativity, and his unique ability to see a signal through the noise. With his fresh perspective, he can draw a line between two things to make connections that result in truly original ideas. Every brainstorm with him is like a jam session for the mind, and he's also a great guy to spend time with. Building something special with Edward has been exciting to say the least, and I'm stoked to see his product change the way people think, consume, and do business in the interest of music!”
