100 Non-Strangers Project #1/100

I first met Ed when I was at a salsa dancing event at USC. He had met a few of my friends at another salsa dancing spot and they had invited him along to the USC event. He was real quiet and nervous about asking people to dance, but came to eat with us afterwards at Garden Cafe. There I found out that he lived in La Verne, the next city over from me, and so it was decided that we would hang out sometime.

 

Since then he's become a very good friend and partner in crime when we go salsa dancing. He's improved a lot and has even started taking bachata and cha cha lessons as well.

 

Ed is also a professional Chef, having gone to a culinary arts school in Pasadena. He works at the Young Chef's Academy in Claremont where he teaches kids how to cook. He also does some party catering/cooking for a wealthy private celebrity client, who shall remain nameless :)

 

Ed is going to be participating in a min-triathlon soon, as he has been getting into shape and feeling very good about it. He's come a long way from cosmic gardening (gardening late at night) to full blown workouts and running, swimming and cycling in preparation for his mini-triathlon.

 

I wish him good luck on it.
