The family moved to Cosby, TN, where Ed was a star high school basketball player. Growing up, the family managed horse tours in Gatlinburg, TN. Ed served in the United States Air Force for three years, and his military tenure set the stage for a lifelong career as a Food Broker in the grocery business. After retirement in 1996, Ed moved to Lake Talquin to pursue his love of fishing.
