Ed Gallagher
	a blind poet

Ed lost his sight over the last eight years due to contracting the Cytomegalo virus. In previous years, Ed was a social and political media activist often orchestrating performance arts pieces in front of San Francisco City Hall. Additionally, he exhibited his photography and oil paintings in art shows. Since he has lost his sight he's turned his artistic energy to sculpture and furniture design. He's been a sailor all his life, and competes regularly.
