Edwin was born in Newcastle, Australia but moved to Sydney, Australia shortly after his birth. He grew up in the inner west and attended Abbotsford Public School until he moved to St Andrew's Cathedral School in Sydney CBD, where he attended until he graduated. He currently studies at the University of Sydney undertaking a Bachelor of Social Sciences, but majors in Government and International Relations and Spanish and Latin American Studies for some reason. He loves the double barrelled course names and uses it to confuse and impress. Like a Siren to a Greek an honours project on vexillology beckons him. He has no children but wouldn't mind being married. He enjoys reading and spending time on his Macintosh, which is feared he had fallen in love with. After damaging his back in sport some years ago, Edwin no longer has the pleasure in spending Saturdays chasing a leather ball around a 100x50m field. Edwin enjoys alternative music, such as Sigur Rós, much to the bemusement of his peers. He has seen Bob Dylan five times, and considers that (in)sufficient.
