Ed received a BA in Geography from UNC-CH and has taken seminary courses through Moody Bible Institute.

My vision is to see people become life long followers of Jesus Christ. College is a great opportunity to develop a walk with Christ, and to develop conviction that will shape your life. With graduation, a whole new world opens up, and in a sense everything turns upside down. So many times I have noticed that people who were excited about their walk with Christ in college have become ho-hum in their post-college years. The new challenges and pressures of life can be overwhelming. My vision is to help people establish their walk with Christ and continue it for the rest of their lives.

A life verse for me is Colossians 1:28-29. Paul wrote of how he worked in such a way that he could present them to Christ as complete or mature. My passion, what I live for, is to help people apply Scripture to their lives in the context of everyday life: in decision-making, relationships, job/class performance, etc. I live to see the people become mature followers of Jesus Christ.

I like playing with my kids, taking my wife out on dates, popcorn, reading, NASCAR, movies and the Washington Redskins. I dislike Duke, the Dallas Cowboys, and when people ask me if I know what the capital of Iowa is.
