About the Author
Edward Schimmel was born in 1977 in Toledo, Ohio. He was raised on his family’s farm just outside of Toledo, and attended school in the Northwood school system. After high school he enrolled at the University of Toledo, and received his degree in Political Science in 1999. At the time of publication Ed was still working on his law degree at the University of Toledo School of Law. Over the years he has traveled to nearly every state in the United States of America, explored the great cities of Europe, and often ventured to his favorite city in the world, Windsor, Canada. Throughout his travels, he carefully studied his surroundings and the people around him to collect small parts of everyday life to merge into a story. The Utilitarian is purely fictional, but if it were broken down into smaller stories, they would be a reflection of the life Ed has witnessed around him.
