Personal Introduction

Intro Post 1

My name is Alex Husted. I live just over the river from Philadelphia in Barrington, NJ and I am currently working for Edmund Optics. This is my family's business, so I have been working there on and off since I was about 13 years old. I have picked orders, packed boxes, manufactured precision mirrors, tested optical elements and designed catalogs, websites and ads. I am currently doing a little of everything in the marketing department: advertising, research, product development, design, etc.
I have undergrad degrees in Physics and Industrial Design, from Franklin & Marshall and Rhode Island School of Design respectively. I am also a two time dot-flop entrepreneur. One of these failed businesses was a competitor of WebCafe so you may hear me grumble when it is mentioned.
