Ed is passionate about carrying on the traditions that his late grandparents brought to the United States from Italy, including, most notably, his family’s annual production of homemade soppressata (i.e., “soupy”).

Ed is a proud alumnus of the University of Rhode Island, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and majored in finance. Ed went on to graduate from Roger Williams University School of Law as valedictorian and was admitted to the practice of law in Rhode Island in 2022.
