Ed is a Mobile Program Manager for a large Financial Services company. I've spent over 20 years living in Seattle, drinking coffee, working on large software projects, and releasing music on my very low profile record label. From Windows 2000 to a 1993 grunge CD featuring Nirvana's former record producer and drummer, I'll tackle any kind of project. You can even find my name buried in the book, Loser - the History of the Seattle Music Scene. I don't think there is anything left for me to do except blog about mobile.
