Eddie had a creative side that he wanted to explore. He loved performing, whether it was in front of a small crowd or a large audience. He took acting classes and auditioned for roles in indie movies and theater productions. He even co-founded the Ruskin Group Theatre with a group of friends, producing and performing shows in small venues across the city. Today, Eddie sits on the board of directors for The Ruskin Group Theatre.

But Eddie's passion for the arts was not the only thing driving him. He also had a keen interest in technology, and he was always eager to learn more about it. He worked his way up in the tech industry, starting as a web hosting customer support agent and eventually becoming a director of data strategy.
