'''Edward "Eddy" Kitsis''' was an executive producer and writer for ''Lost''. He is part of a writing duo with Adam Horowitz. Many of his works, and all of his credited of his PortalEpisodes of ''Lost'' have been co-written with  Horowitz. He and Horowitz are both alumni of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and met in their "Introduction to Film" class, and have been writing together as a duo ever since.

Kitsis was born to Tybe and Arlen Kitsis of Minneapolis. In May of 2002, it was announced that he was engaged to Jennifer Susman, also a TV/film graduate of University of Texas in 1999. They married on March 29, 2003 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

After graduating with a bachelor's degree in radio, television, and film, Kitsis traveled with Horowitz to Los Angeles. They initially worked as assistants and messengers until landing a job writing scripts for the remake of Fantasy Island. It was canceled after 13 episodes, but they went on to write for both Felicity and Popular, before joining Lost halfway into the first season.

They became supervising producers for the second season and continued to contribute to episodes. They became co-executive producers from the third season and reprised this role for the fourth season.
