Edward Alan Swearingen

Born in San Antonio Texas in 1955.

Moved to South Godstone, Surrey, England in 1963.

Lived in Alexandria Virginia till 1967.

Went to TMI, Texas Military Institute in San Antonio for a year.

Moved to Santa Barbara in 1968.

Went to La Cumbre Junior High, then Santa Barbara High School and La Questa High.

In Santa Barbara my two major accomplishments were training in Wing Chun Gung Fu, and learning photography from some Brooks Institute students I'd met......and knowing some of the most beautiful women on the planet, ever.

Came home to Texas in 1976 and went to work on the Gulf of Mexico on Oil Supply Boats, after working in Houston for a few months.

...back home to San Antonio in late 1979 and started a handyman service.  I continued in the construction and renovation and now I'm working as a Project Manager on century old adobe renovations and other building projects in Marfa (West) Texas.

My future plans (very soon) will be purchasing a sailboat on the Gulf of Mexico and spending as much time as possible on the Ocean.

I never married or had children and continue my pursuit of photography.
