Growing up outside Chicago, I dreamed of being the Cubs' centerfielder. That didn't happen, but my career in sports media has been equally rewarding. I've worked as a writer, editor, producer, photographer, content head and consultant across print, digital, linear TV and social media platforms for the top sports brands in America. Through it all, the goal remains the same: to help people and organizations figure out their story and how best to tell it.
“I’ve worked with Ed for the last 20 years. He understands the edit side and the sales side, he can speak the language of multiple content platforms and he has a singular ability for bringing it all together.”
–Tim Kurkjian, ESPN MLB Reporter
“Combining a deep knowledge of journalism, a diverse media background and a tireless work ethic, Ed is able to find great stories, tell them creatively and bring the best content to the largest audience. But the bottom line is this: Like any great teammate, Ed makes everyone around him better at what they do.”
–Liam McHugh, NBC Sports Anchor, NFL,
NHL, Olympics and Notre Dame Football
“I am in awe of the contributions Ed has made to ESPN. As his editor at ESPN The Magazine, and as a writer who has benefited from his ingenuity, diligence and devotion to storytelling, I am hard-put to name a more valuable member of our team. He is constantly coming up with great ideas and seeing them through to the end.”
–Steve Wulf, co-founding editor of
ESPN The Magazine
