Eddie enjoyed writing in high school, where his exemplary English teachers relished correcting his work. In college, he took two independent studies in creative writing, where his efforts were less than adequate. At least he earned a BA in Chemistry.

While working toward a BS in Chemistry, he discovered programming and, after completing IBM's qualifying tests, enrolled in specialized college computer classes, which he thoroughly enjoyed, though not enough to switch to a computer science degree.

Now, after 40 years in software development (per LinkedIn Profile), Eddie decided to retire. He's writing again, creating short stories he intends to publish in the near future.
