Edgar started hitting newsrooms at a young age when he accompanied his dad to work; there his love for technology grew immensely. He developed two passions: gadgets and football (soccer). When he wasn't on the pitch scoring hat-tricks, he could be found near his Super Nintendo or around the house taking things apart -- there's a reason a grand amount of his toys carried a 'Destroyer' mark. One bragging right he occasionally brings up at random gatherings is the fact he was once ranked the number one FIFA 11 player in the world, but unfortunately, he no longer holds that title. He lives in New York City with his better half, and there's a plan to add a canine to the family in the near future.
