Ed is also the Founder and President of American Eagle Wealth Advisors, Inc., a registered investment advisory firm.

While Ed’s career path is wide and varied, the common thread is an uncommon caring about helping people. He finds a great deal of satisfaction in teaching and helping people understand and manage the financial aspects of their lives.

Ed has found that many professionals are so busy managing their business and personal lives that they simply put off their personal and family financial planning and risk their current and future security. Ed helps individuals and families of all income levels identify their personal and family needs, inventory their resources and implement plans for the fulfillment of their goals.

Ed married Donna, his high school sweet heart and together they have raised their children and now enjoy a wonderful grandson. They love the Sacramento area and have lived here for over 20 years.
