Raised in Madison, Connecticut, where he spent his high school and college years apprenticing as a timber-frame carpenter, Ed Pirnik traded in his tool belt for a notepad and camera upon college graduation. Arriving in New York City, he spent over eight years in the journalism industry as a photographer, writer and editor. During that time, he worked with a talented group of journalists around the world, crafting stories on a variety of issues including conflict, travel and national politics.
Never one for the big city, Ed returned to Connecticut in 2009 to become a Web Producer at Taunton Press, where he combined his interest in media with his love for woodworking.
