Throughout high school, Ed enjoyed playing his bass in a Polka band. He showcased his musical talent through singing, playing the accordion and playing the bass. Then he entered into service as a member of the United States Coast Guard. He made us all proud though he never knew how to swim! After serving in the military, he joined I.B.E.W.
