Ethan Sherman was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1941. Several years later the family moved to the Mid Hudson Valley in New York State. He graduated from Rider College (now Rider University) in 1963 with a degree in Accounting. However after a few years in that field he joined the family home improvement business, retiring in 2006. While Ethan has had numerous interests over the years he now enjoys riding his bicycle, especially over the newly built rail trails which follow the abandoned east-west railroad tracks in the area. This includes the Walkway Over The Hudson, which is awesome.
