Born in Mission on March 14, 1942, recreation and humour writer Ed Rychkun is an avid outdoorsman and former business executive who has written and published 12 books in the last decade. His titles have covered fishing, camping, self-publishing and humor. "My books focus on making things simple and fun--or funny," says Rychkun. "I like to offer a new twist of satire." Ed created his own publishing company and is now a semi-retired entrepreneur.
