Hi, my name is:
David 'Ed' Edwards
My (mis)adventures over the years have taken me across the length of Siberia, to the great white shark capital of the world and the wrong end of a Ukrainian military gun barrel.This website is at once a demonstration of my skillset and record of such experiences, that I may live vicariously through when I enter senility and the greatest challenge awaiting me is one of sustaining bladder control on a daily basis.
