His adoptive parents filled his life with extensive travel, education and exposure to the arts which developed Ed into a very inquisitive young man with broad interests. He was an avid enthusiast of astronomy, railroad & train history, classic cars, music, art, & flying. He earned his private pilot's license in his 20's. As a "World Citizen" he was genuinely interested in all peoples from all nations and fascinated by their cultures. He attended the University of Arizona in Tucson studying aeronautics & science in preparation to join the space program as an astronaut. Though his draft number was never called, the Vietnam War changed Ed's life course. He began a career in business as Vice President of Sales and R&D at Bronson Pharmaceuticals and worked with notables in the health industry, such as Linus Pauling (Nobel Peace Prize recipient) to formulate high quality health supplements. He then became fleet manager at Bewley Allen Cadillac. Ed consistently earned Cadillac's highest awards & recognitions, the pinnacle being that General Motors chose Ed to be Cadillac's California sponsored the race in the mid 1990's. Ed retired from the business world in the mid 1990's and pursued what became his true passion....Acting! He became a SAG member and began to build his credits in TV and movies, with roles in Desperate Housewives, The Aviator, Anchorman, and leading roles in TV's Untold Stories of the ER. Although his health was failing in 2009, he volunteered at the San Bernardino Train Museum and loved playing pool with his new friends in the La Verne Foothill Terrace Mobile Park that he loved. Many at the park never knew the vibrant ED who had live life so fully.
