He's very approachable and easy to talk to. Most importantly, he is exceptionally patient! Edward has always been reliable and prepared to teach.

Biography
At 8 years old, I started out with a love for drums and so began my rhythmic development. I was influenced by my older Sister who casually played guitar and sang with her friends. Sometimes she would recruit me for some needed vocal harmonies. I picked up the guitar and began to explore sounds and learn chords. My Parents couldn't really afford music lessons for me so I learned everything by ear. In High School my music career really began to develop. My friends needed a bass player to start their band so I bought a bass and together we started learning to play our favorite rock music. I was the lead singer. I started writing lyrics and learning about song construction. By about age 23 I had been in several different rock bands. My most notable venture was with a band called the Dan Reed Network. We played a lot of clubs in the Portland, Vancouver area. We did some studio recording. But I decided that if I wanted to be a professional musician, it would be in my best interest to go to college and earn a degree as a soloist. Choosing to go to college remains one of the best life decisions I've ever made. I have found a way to make a living doing what I love.

My other life
I like exploring and getting lost on a motorcycle.
I also enjoy wilderness backpacking. To carry everything I need on my back to survive in the wilderness for a week is a zen like experience. Immersing myself in the serenity, beauty and power of nature reminds me of my place here on earth.
