Ed is a lifelong member of the Catholic community in the Philadelphia area. He was one of 9 children raised in Delaware County.  He is the father of 6 children and five grandchildren and has been married for 35 wonderful years and is part of the St Norbert Parish.  He established his own successful commercial real estate company 20 years ago.  Ed has been a leader in many Catholic faith-centered organizations including the Flame of Love and Large Friendship Celebrations (35 to date) that attracts over 500 people to hear outstanding presentations on building one’s relationship with God and one another within his community.  About 7 years ago, in response to the unsatisfied need for people needing a place to go when they were in pain or simply wanted to help out a friend that needed spiritual support, he created Team Hope, which has over 6,000 active members that pray for whoever needs prayers on a daily basis. Part of this mission includes sending out a daily prayer request to over 1,200 people.

This Hall of Fame member of Archbishop Carroll High School, St Norbert’s parish and Children of the Father love to share his message of hope and healing with his fellow Christians and can often be heard on Sign Catholic Radio.  Ed is looking forward to bringing his message to retreatants at Malvern Retreat House in order to bring them closer to Christ.
