Ed has been in the Parts industry for "my whole life", he says. He enjoys working in the Parts department because, "it's a detailed job which keeps you challenged and focused.

He mentioned that he likes how Subaru has a wide variety of accessories available. Ed has proudly been serving in the parts department since 1999.

Beyond working as a Parts Manager, Ed has a wife, two grown children and a grand daughter. He enjoys fishing and camping. "Camping in the mountains of NC was an annual event in my household. I love how the area in the mountains is so remote and cooler in the summer." It should be noted that Ed is a 'real' camper meaning he sleeps in a tent on the ground, no RV or air mattress for this rural family!
