Ed was born into a Roman Catholic family in Boston, Massachusetts. His love as a boy was sports and eventually he received an athletic scholarship to the University of Massachusetts. While pursuing his dream of being a professional athlete, Ed heard the Gospel for the first time at a meeting at the university. He accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. His life was transformed by Christ and he began immediately to be involved in campus ministry.
After graduating from the University, Ed attended Bible college and received his theological and ministry training. He served twelve years in Christian education at the high school and college level. In 1984, Ed received a call from God to preach. After being ordained to the Gospel ministry, he served 25 years in pastoral ministry. In 2015, Ed received a Doctor of Ministry degree from RPTS seminary in Pittsburgh while also becoming a member of the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors.
Ed is currently working as an evangelist. He is on staff as a missionary evangelist with Open Air Campaigners. OAC has missionary evangelists in 30 countries. Ed is enthused about living up to the motto of OAC “Presenting Christ by all means Everywhere.”
