Eddie loves to envision the future, almost as much as he loves Hawaii, the state where he was born and raised.  After graduating from Punahou School  in Honolulu, Eddie relocated to the midwest where he earned dual ABs in political science and economics from the University of Chicago.  Eddie lives in Chicago with his wife and three children but returns to the islands as often as possible.
