An East Vancouver native, Ed began his 28 year career in professional sports with the BC Lions back in 1980. After the Grey Cup win in 1985, Ed moved into hockey as the Equipment Assistant with the Vancouver Canucks for six years and then moved to the Ottawa Senators for their inaugural year as the Head Equipment Manager where he contributed in this role for over 10 years.

On the international stage, Ed worked for Team Canada at the 1993 and 1996 World Championships resulting in a silver medal win. He was then selected to represent the world team in the 2000 NHL All Star game in Toronto. Ed served four years on the executive board for the Society for Professional Hockey Equipment Managers (SPHEM), with one year in the role of President. In 2001, he was the recipient of the Larry Ashley Award presented to the trainer that best exemplifies the character and commitment to excellence displayed by Ashley throughout his career. In 2002, Ed made a change from hockey and moved to back to the West Coast where he enjoyed sports consulting for two major motion movies and then pursued a business opportunity patenting a unique technology for a compression garment. Five years later, a licensing deal was finalized with a global performance sports apparel leader and this technology is now global and in multiple products.  In 2011, Ed stepped back into professional sports, with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, as the Head Equipment, Logistic & Facilities Manager and enjoyed a rewarding 11 years with the club.

Ed is passionate about maximizing the sports platform to make a difference in the lives of others and is committed to providing access and opportunities to Indigenous children and youth, inspiring them on their own individual path of greatness.
