About Our CEO

Community Health Advocate

 A Washington, D.C. native, and nearly a decade as a certified personal fitness coach based in the DC metropolitan area, Ed has

built a professional profile around personalized wellness management as a trusted fitness expert, community health navigator,

and grassroots leader in preventive health.

Ed's professional work emphasizes merging evidence-based wellness practices within

 communities negatively impacted by social drivers of health. Whether it's preventive care, physical conditioning,

nutrition education, mindfulness training, or community-building, his aim is to decrease the negative consequences plaguing communities  similar to communities in his lived experiences . Through strategic 

partnerships and collaborations, he supports and promotes accessible wellness

resources across Washington, D.C. and abroad

His philosophy centers on balancing the physical, emotional, and social well-being, while breaking down the social construct of systemic health disparities. He decided to leave the corporate side of the industry, and focus on those who could benefit the most.  As he raised awareness and built relationships with those that sought a healthier lifestyle, he grew support from community partners that worked alongside him in impacted areas; a wellness collective of—trainers, dietitians, mental-health providers, advocates, healthcare and wellness professionals, specializing in many disciplines, that work to reduce health disparities across every urban city . 

He believes wellness as a sustainable lifestyle rather than a luxury service, limited to a few that are privileged 

His mission is to encourage all communities 

to engage in healthier habits through physical, mental, and emotional wellness practices. By linking wellness with civic responsibility, he

contributes to the capital’s culture of public health innovation.
