BIO:

Edward has been doing construction work for the last 14 years. He also volunteers as a Audio Technician at Redemption Fellowship Church and record's their sermons for the radio station in his spare time.  He is also a member.

Edward was injured at work and had major back surgery. He has been down for 2 years suffering in pain and agony. Edward had lost his confidence in his health do to his injury. When he went to the doctor he was told he had to start working out and to join a fitness gym to gain his strength back and confidence. Edward was also diagnosed with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. His doctor told him he had to lose some weight and eat right or he could have a stroke at anytime. It made him think twice when he saw a younger co-worker have a mild heart attack the same day his co-worker told him that his doctor said he had to lose weight or else he could die.  "That’s scary!"

He was introduced to Jeff through his football coach Derrick and wife Jenny of the Burlington Blue Devils.  Edward was pumped and brought his brother to try out for the “TMJ4 Biggest Loser Contest.”  His brother had health issues and had to drop so Edward kept pushing on for his health, family, and friends.

"I want to also continue this program for my late cousin Darieus Nelson who drowned in Brown Lake in Burlington, WI on July 14, 2009.  He had also joined a fitness camp to get in shape.”

“I need this for my health and I am blessed to have Jeff and his trainers as my tools to a better and healthier life.  He is the best of the best and an excellent trainer that cares and works hard with you and helps push you through the hard workouts.  God bless him.”
