Andrew Murphy was born in Texas, so when he says, "Howdy," he's not kidding. When he was seven, he decided to connect a light bulb to battery, because it seemed like the thing to do. This of course led him to raise money by mowing lawns so that he could buy his very own arc welder. Then he learned to weld. Later, after learning about electronics, computer programming, and the fundamentals of art, he went to Southern Methodist University, where they declared him Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. While there, he developed an interest in competitive and recreational cycling. One day, he rode out west to Californy, where the good people of Stanford considered giving him a Master's degree in Product Design. Since then, he and a friend jumpstarted a consulting firm, Monkey Wrench Design. Now they spend their time making things. And trouble.
Ed was sent to an aerospace conference in the Fall of 1983 and never returned to his home planet of Krolock. He has had a hard time adjusting to the human form and so sometimes exhibits high levels of clumsiness. At times, he is known to take the shape of various animals. He received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University in 2005 and has worked in the industrial x-ray and surgical device industries. Whilst attending graduate school in the Stanford Design Program, he met a humanoid named Andrew. They bonded quickly over the exploits of Ed in monkey form, and so Monkey Wrench Design was established. Activities he enjoys are: woodworking, bowling, playing guitar, recording and mixing music, trying to learn Spanish, (more recently) painting, shooting music videos and brewing beer. He aspires to someday become elderly.
