Ed brings more than three decades of experience in the financial services industry to his role at TruStage. Previously, he marketed profit sharing and 401(k) plans to sponsor groups with PlanAmerica, and he spent time at Merrill Lynch and UBS, working in the wirehouse environment. Ed also taught licensing exam prep courses for Kaplan Financial Education. Ed earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance from San Diego State University.
Ed married his wife Chelle more than 30 years ago and has welcomed two children and two grandchildren since then. When he’s not helping ensure healthy futures for his clients, Ed can be found hitting the golf course, listening to live music or enjoying a bike ride.
