Hey There —

My name is Ed Fladung. I’m originally from New York and I’ve been living in Mexico for over 20 years. I am a creative person and through my non-linear career, I’ve been fortunate to work on many varied projects along the way.

Some fun facts about me: I still seem to call Los Angeles “home”, even after so long in Mexico (my family thinks it’s weird). I love taking photos and for years, I documented nascent surf culture in Mexico on my blog (remember those?). I still surf occasionally but now I like to go on long, fast bike rides in the surrounding farm land — all my friends are cows and horses. I organize bike rides with a local cycling group here in Bahía de Banderas (s/o Team Vallarta and Speed Team). I document our rides in photos and make fun little movies. I have a 16 year old son whose favorite sport is snowboarding, ironic for a kid living next to the ocean in Mexico. I like to snowboard as well :) I enjoy cooking and learning about new processes. Last year, I took an indigo workshop and my fingernails were dyed blue for a month. I enjoy fermenting things and have not perfected my kimchi recipe yet, but it’s coming along.
