A husband and father of two sons, Ed enjoys reading, police procedurals, contemporary music on the road, and classical music in the office. He is a native of Northern Illinois, but has spent most of his adult life on the Gulf Coast, on duty stations from Panama City to Houston, and has finally settled in Crestview, Florida.
