He studied painting in New York before later going on to work as an art director at Time magazine for 14 years. And you’ll find a modicum of excitement, too, for the hopefully quieter news cycle that Michael Bennet once promised.Įdel was born in Havana, Cuba, and grew up there until he was eight years old, when his family emigrated to the United States during the 1980 Mariel Boatlift.
