Ed was reared in Winchester, attended Christ Church School as a youth and, later, Hamp- den-Sydney College, the School of Banking of the South at LSU and the School of Bank Marketing at the University of Colorado. A longtime resident of Richmond, Ed had a long and successful career working in banking and advertising and held leadership roles in a number of area marketing and investor relations organizations.
