Ed's life changed when he became a Christian through the ministry of Campus Crusade for  Christ during his sophomore year at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.  Even before graduating with a degree in Speech, Ed sensed God leading him to invest his life in the Kingdom as an equipper of the God's people. 

Though Ed wanted to receive formal training immediately after graduating from UH, God had another time table in mind.  Over the next 6 years he found himself at work as an educator coupled with a few years as an intern at a local church. 

In August of 2000 he finally headed off to Southern Cal to attend Talbot School of Theology, but not before marrying his college sweetheart Nora in 1998.  While pursuing his studies he served at Cerritos Baptist Church and later at Catalyst Christian Community in Long Beach.  Ed received an M. Div in 2004 and a Th.M. in 2006. 

While in California God blessed Ed and Nora with two precious boys: Joshua who arrived in 2005 and Zachary in 2007.  They're favorite family outings are going to baseball games together!
