Throughout his career Ed was employed at various companies. Many jobs involved both inside and outside sales. He retired from Transok Pipeline, Inc. and completed his career at Public Service Company of Oklahoma.

Ed was active at Trinity Baptist Church, where he served as Deacon and Sunday school department secretary. In 1972, Ed was asked to take on leadership of the Youth Choir for 2-3 weeks while they searched for a permanent leader. This temporary, volunteer position lasted until 1992. Soon thereafter he began leading the senior adult choir and did so until 2007.
