Five chapters of one life

From a working-class Bronx family to aerospace engineering, from Silicon Valley boardrooms to Moscow's chess masters, from collapse to healing.

From the Bronx to aerospace

A firefighter's son and patented inventor

Born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island, Ed studied electrical engineering and mathematics at the University at Buffalo, with further work at Stony Brook, the Polytechnic Institute of New York, and USC's Executive MBA program.

He co-invented U.S. Patent No. 4,805,137, an integrated-circuit control system for the MIL-STD-1553B data bus used across military and aerospace technology, and presented to more than 100 corporations in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Around the world

Chess masters, peak performance, and the human mind

At about 30, Ed stepped away for a year, backpacked across Europe, and studied chess among grandmasters at Moscow's Central Chess Club.

Back in California, his studies of mental training and neurolinguistic programming with Dr. Richard Bandler began to merge into a new view of how people learn.

The birth of Reading Genius®

A conversation with a neighbor

A schoolteacher told Ed her students struggled to read. He asked to join her classroom and treated reading as a complete performance system: eyes, brain, imagination, emotion, memory, and focus.

The program became a major success, presented at the U.S. Air Force Academy, West Point, the Naval Postgraduate School, Xerox, and Hewlett-Packard. Ed wanted to transform education, not just sell a product, so he left the U.S. for Thailand.

The fall

Seven years, and everything unraveled

In Thailand, Ed studied intuition, consciousness, and spiritual energy. He describes a series of disturbing events that followed, as relationships deteriorated and his fortune disappeared. He went from millionaire to what he calls a "negative millionaire," and reached his lowest point in despair.

"The last key on the ring is often the one that opens the door."

The turn

A teacher who changed everything

Introduced to spiritual teacher and healer Raymon Grace, Ed credits him with saving his life. He went on to study with Grace and Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, developing his own healing work.

It began with a glass of water: from Florida, Ed focused his intention while a family in the Philippines gave it to a grandmother reported to be dying. According to the family, she left the hospital two days later and lived five or six more years.

Healing through love

Love connects every chapter of Ed's life. He believes healing requires genuine compassion, spiritual responsibility, and love for the person receiving it.

Ed has worked with people around the world in more than 3,000 cases involving physical injuries, chronic pain, emotional trauma, spiritual interference, addictions, and damaged relationships. All sessions are remote, because he believes healing energy and love are not limited by geography.

His guiding principle: every person, and every cell, bone, joint, and organ, has a spiritual component. When it is weakened or blocked, the body may suffer. Restoring its energy may support healing from within.

This work led to Advanced Performance Recovery Systems®, used with football players, Olympians, physicians, and other athletes with injured knees, damaged backs, and joint problems, without drugs, surgery, or devices.

Children first

Ed has sponsored and supported orphanages and children, offering more than funding: remote healing sessions, encouragement, and love for orphans, caregivers, and directors.

  • Believes every child deserves protection, love, and the chance to discover their potential

Love across cultures

After decades in more than 90 countries, Ed learned that what signals care in one culture can be misread in another. Harmony comes from emotional intelligence, respect, patience, and true love, never from technique.

Today he privately consults accomplished executives and professional men who want to understand international courtship, communicate better with women, and build loving partnerships across cultural lines.

Lasting harmony must build both people.

90+ countries, one mission

Few people have traveled so deeply through such different worlds: engineering and aerospace, chess and peak performance, international relationships, consciousness and healing, and humanitarian service.

Ed's mission today

At 66, Ed believes his greatest contribution is still ahead. His goal is to make a lifetime of knowledge available to people who are open, curious, and courageous enough to explore what humans may be capable of becoming.
