Ewdison ThenI’m the co-founder of R3 Media LLC, the media company behind SlashGear & Android Community. At R3 Media, I’m responsible for business development, strategy, and building the company’s culture. My background in high performance computing and application development also see me deal with product development of R3 Media’s properties. I’m also the founder & publisher of The Japan Daily Press. When not chained to the keyboard, I enjoy playing basketball, listening to music, drinking wine and reading. I’m currently residing in the proud state of Texas.
