Charles David Edinger:  

I've spent most of my life in the New York City area annd northern New Jersey, after finishing undergraduate school in New England and graduate school in Princeton. I loved New York and tried to take full advantage of the music, art and wonderful energy that pervade the city. I moved to southern Florida, to West Palm Beach, about two years ago. I spent the first 30-years of my career teaching Applied Economics to graduate students at several national universities in the New York area, at times also serving as a Dean, Executive Director and Provost. My focus has been Risk Management, with an emphasis on international business. I also got involved with fundraising and development and played a key role in building the Greenberg School of Risk Management, Insurance and Actuarial Science at St. John’s University.

My eventual goal is to have all four of my kids and their families down here in Florida, subject to their varied career commitments. My oldest son Charles Rhoads Edinger and his family, including my granddaughter Jaela and grandson Lincoln Rhoads Edinger live 20-minutes away from me in Palm Beach Gardens, which is wonderful. CJ drives big trucks for a living. I am amazed that he does many of his deliveries into urban areas, where most people have trouble parking a car. Our plan is for Charles Rhoads to set-up his own trucking company after he has acquired enough experience with day-to-day business management. CJ and I share common interests in sports and motorcycles. CJ's brother George Richard Penn Edinger is a screen-writer and producer with NBC in Hollywood. He was working on the new Night Court until he took some time off to travel and work in Eur...Expand for more
