Edward earned a bachelor of arts degree in international relations with a minor in economics from Wheaton (IL) College. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional and a notary public.

Edward serves as a CFP® mentor and tutor. He volunteers at Lincoln Park Community homeless shelter and as a soccer coach at Trevian Soccer Club, and he is a member of the Chicago Chess Foundation. Edward has been to 64 countries and loves traveling to connect with people and learn about other cultures, but his favorite part of traveling is always coming home to Chicago.

His day is brightened when he hears from clients and has an opportunity to listen, serve, and care for them.

“At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. It’s about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It’s about what you've given back.” – Denzel Washington
