Tucked away in the Blue Ridge mountains of North Carolina, Ed is an author, an ordained minister, a church planter, and a Bible teacher. His passion is to help people find the true Trinity God of the Bible, and to grow in their relationship with Him - and Ed's writings all reflect that heart. Originally from Burlington, NC, he received two undergrad degrees from Liberty University and his master’s degree from Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary. Ed is the husband of Robin, the father of Sam (Brittany) and Ginger (Chris) – and importantly, is “Poppers” to his four much-loved grandkids. Recently retired from being a 24/7/365 minister, he enjoys travel, reading, writing, music, teaching, art, sports, friends, and especially family. And although he and Robin greatly love to visit the ocean, it is layers of mountains, long-range views, and clean, crisp mountain air that fascinate them the most.
