Howdy! I am Edward Clark. 💡 I’m a dad, husband, and entrepreneur who is passionate about all things security. Founder of this leading blog on smart locks. 🔑 I’ve been featured in the media many times, including The Guardian, Forbes, Wired, USA Today, TechCrunch, and Engadget.
I created Smart Locks Guide to help people understand and embrace the benefits of smart home security systems. I saw a world of people who could benefit from the technology that we take for granted.
