Ed Marsh is proud to be born and bred in New Jersey, US. He often wonders why people make fun of his state. He generally dislikes writing in the third person.
Ed has worked in technical communication since 1994, creating printed manuals, online help, PDF documentation, cheat sheets, technical illustrations and eLearning modules. He is also experienced in content management, and likes getting his hands dirty in HTML, CSS, and XML.
Ed worked in New York City for most of his career, transitioning to a technical writing and eLearning consultant for a major financial firm in NJ in 2011.
Ed’s passion is for design, and he has designed web sites, books, logos, t-shirts, flyers, menus, and playbills, among other things. His favorite punctuation are the semicolon and ellipsis. While he is more technical than most tech writers, he is not a programmer, though he keeps trying (and trying…).
Ed formerly was percussion instructor, then director of the Secaucus High School Marching Band and co-founder of the Cacophony Percussion Ensemble. In 2006, he was named one of “50 Directors Who Make a Difference” by School Band and Orchestra magazine.
He is a hiker, beer snob, homebrewer, foodie, and IndyCar racing fan.
