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 obtained a degree in Network Engineering and Data communications, is involved in IT work, and runs an Airbnb with his wife, Brenda.
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, former Convener of the OSL - Mountain Healing Community (an ecumenical ministry of Christian healing), 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, 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.
