Ed worked as an industrial chemical engineer 12 years prior to his arriving in Redwood City in 1962. Raised during the depression era, an ethic of hard work and responsibility allowed for the opportunity to relocate to Redwood City. Arriving in California he transferred his MAC Tool franchise from Chicago and then some years later purchased the Cornwell Tool Franchise. More recently Ed was semi retired as an independent, representing tool sales in the greater Bay Area. Honed his skills as philosopher, linguist and as a world traveler, his favorite destinations remained as India and the back roads of America - with India reflecting the closest location on earth to heaven.
