Although he grew up in a city, he was a cowboy at heart. He moved to Apple Valley in the mid 90's and his love of horses and all things rural finally took him to Worland WY seven years ago. It's there where he lived a true cowboys life.
Ed enjoyed riding horses and motorcycles. But more than anything, he enjoyed preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ.
