"Edward is a seasoned and rounded communicator who can slide easily between media. Most of all though, he's a rare breed - an early adopter who's also a grown-up who understands how to use each medium to its fullest (pun intended). He's also a nice bloke to work with."

Prof. Peter Paolucci, Ph.D., Stong College, Department of English, York University (Toronto).

"Edward brings a very extensive skill set to the workplace. He is results-oriented, highly committed to quality and excellence, hard working, and a very direct and forthright communicator with excellent interpersonal skills. He reads the political "lay-of-the-land" well and works very well under pressure. He has initiative, integrity, and intelligence and gets great results whether he is working alone or with others."

Mark Farmer, Digital Strategist, Strategic Communications Office, York University (Toronto).

"Edward has a keen interest in social media, and has been a great supporter of it on campus, participating actively in the digital team I lead at York. He has great skills in developing websites and promoting his program through social media, and has been an early adopter of a variety of platforms. Edward can speak with authority on a number of digital communications issues and brings a good management sense to his work."
