Ed Zenisek

Hello there,

My name is Ed Zenisek, and professionally I’m a Senior Web Developer for New Mexico State University Research, where I’ve enjoyed a 14 year career so far. I’ve also been running my own Web Development business out of my home in Las Cruces since I’ve lived here, almost 15 years. Recently, my wife and I had an elective weight loss surgery and I wrote a book about the experience. Bariatric Surgery: The Best and Worst Decision I Ever Made is currently available on Amazon where it has a rating of over 4.5 out of 5 stars.

In 2013 I married my beautiful wife, Amanda. In July of 2020, my wife gave birth to our beautiful twin girls – McKenzie and Brooke. In my free time I enjoy learning more about web development, gaming, doing home renovations, writing, stargazing, and working on my 85 Ford F-150.
