A technopreneur, he was President of Sightline Solar, CEO of JustZip.com, and VP of Engineering for MSL.

He served in the US Army Reserves and opened a record store with his wife in the vinyl era.

Born in Lowell, MA, he raised his family in Chelmsford, MA, and resides in Fort Myers, FL, where he's weathered multiple category-4 hurricanes. When Ed’s not immersed in his writing or at the gym, he finds joy in reading, dancing, singing Karaoke, and traveling the world with his wife and children, who reside in New Hampshire and Sydney, Australia.

A member of The Gulf Coast Writers Association and contributor to the Richardhowe.com blog, his education includes Computer Science from Boston University and Creative Writing from UMass Lowell. 

Ed wrote his first two novels in 1992 and 1994, long before the Internet existed and Amazon self-publishing services were available. It was easier to win the lottery than to land a publishing agent then. Ed put novels aside to focus on his tech career. He soon was writing business plans for startups, mergers, and acquisitions. He began writing novels and short stories after retiring to Florida and has since become an award-winning author. He's passionate about his writing and protecting the environment.
