I can't count the number of times in my career since working for Ed that I've wished I could hire him to be my boss again. Ed has an awesome mix of charisma, intelligence, compassion, and insight that makes him exceptionally valuable as a contributor and leader. His management style brings a great balance of hands-off freedom and yet interest in and support for ideas that makes working for him feel more like working with him. Ed demonstrates his care for the organization through the high quality and thoughtfulness of his solutions, and he shows appreciation for similar dedication from his employees. I have the utmost respect for Ed and am grateful for the opportunities he provided and growth he fostered in me during my time at Baker.
