Edward has previously served other Protestant and Catholic denominations in Utah, Idaho, Kansas, and Missouri. In 2019, the Kansas City Arts Beat described that he played with “astonishing skill and musicality” at the VII Annual French Organ Festival at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Kansas City (an event hosted by the American Guild of Organists). During the summer of 2021, he was the pit orchestra conductor for Half Time the Musical in Theatre in the Park in Shawnee Mission, Kansas.

Edward is part Mexican, speaks Spanish, enjoys WWII movies, and loves word puzzles and games. His wife, Kimberlynn, is a talented soprano and high school choir teacher. He is grateful to see familiar faces and play in public once again.
