Ed was born on the island of Puerto Rico where he lived for a total of 13 years. Enrolled in medical studies at the University of South Florida and later at Rutgers University, he began to work in the field of pathology in areas ranging from biomedical research, to histology, to working in a hospital morgue performing autopsies. Having an interest in technology, Ed later returned to school while in the medical field and single father, obtaining a degree in Network Engineering and Data communications.
Ed loves to share the hope he found in Christ through the Prayer Ministry. Some of the areas of service for the Lord include technology in the church and ministries, helping and housing the homeless, prison & prayer ministries, facilitating bible studies, and serving as Deacon. Through an inter-denominational & non-denominational road, the Lord continues to work in Ed’s life (together with his wife, Brenda) helping others bring wholeness to their lives at The Blessing Place of Western North Carolina, as Convener of the OSL - Mountain Healing Community (an ecumenical ministry of Christian healing), and serving at the Blue Ridge Walk to Emmaus (Spiritual Renewal Weekend Events). Finding joy in all of the above, Ed enjoys the outdoors, photography and hiking the mountains of western NC.
