In spite of all of Ed’s credentials and expertise, he does like to spend some time out of the office. He is an avid golfer, although his score denies any sign of improvement no matter how much time he spends on the course. Since 1983, Ed has practiced shotokan karate and you can sometimes catch him wearing his black belt around the office. He has also been teaching karate to children ages 5-12 since 2000. Ed has a passion for music and has been playing the saxophone since he was a kid. Most recently, he relived his band days with a guest performance at his oldest daughter’s wedding. When the weather is nice, you’ll often find Ed taking long drives with his first, true love (don’t tell his wife!) – his 1968 Pontiac GTO.
