Andru Edwards of GearLive.com
Meet Andru Edwards, the man and the mind behind GearLive.com, a blog dedicated to all things high-tech. In addition to GearLive.com, Andru also manages a network of other blogs ranging in topics from celebrity news to sports and beyond. With a strong following, Andru and his blogs have been quoted in USA Today, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Seattle Times, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, KOMO 4 News, Q13 News, KING 5 News, and NPR, among others. With all that, you would imagine that Andru has a full plate on his hands, yet he somehow finds time to put on a conference each year in Seattle called MindCamp—Seattle’s ultimate “unconference” experience and a must-attend event for all those with entrepreneurial minds.
Originally hailing from New York, New York, Andru migrated out this way in 2000 and has been hooked ever since. He currently lives in Seattle with his wife, Monica, and son, Alijah. When he isn’t sitting in front of a computer covering tech, he can be found at social media events all around Puget Sound, playing Xbox, and wrestling (professional-style). When I asked him what his “finishing move” was, he told me Kata Ha Jime; I’m more interested in his theme music, however, which I imagine would be some song by Journey. Andru loves wrestling so much that, this year, he attended Wrestlemania 25 down in Texas.
Andru can be found at many events around Puget Sound, and if you happen to come across him, don’t hesitate to say hello; he is extremely friendly and definitely enjoys a good laugh. If you’re interested in contacting Andru, he can be found at www.twitter.com/andruedwards or you can e-mail him at andru@gearlive.com. You can also view his videos on his YouTube page.
Recently, Andru was featured in a segment by King 5 News Seattle about Twitter and OnStar. He would prefer it if you didn’t ask him why his Christmas lights are up really early this year—I know from experience.
