Ed resides with his lovely wife Ardelia, in Cortland, New York.

He started playing drums in the 60's with school classmates in Lansing, New York in a band called "Gloria" doing all of the new rock hits of the early 60's.

He later found out that he really wanted to play new country tunes of the 60's/70's & 80's (Today, known as "Classic Country")

In the1970's to 80's Ed played with several groups including, Country Prospects, Countrymen, Big Timber, Ruben Everidge & the Sanantones, Close Enough, and numerous other groups; opening shows with country music acts such as Little Jimmy Dickens, Kitty Wells, John Connely, Conway Twitty and several other national recording artists.

Ed started playing with Doc & The Ridge Road Ramblers in 2005....and says he has been loving it ever since!
