Winning All American Honors and being selected by then-President James H. Hester as NYU's candidate to The Rhodes Scholarship competition, Edward graduated New York University as the President of the original NYU Honor Society, "Perstare et Praestare," and then attended The University of Notre Dame Law School. At the very beginning of his law practice with a Wall Street law firm, he was assigned to the defense team in two different aviation disasters. While working, he also completed his Masters in Philosophy at NYU by attending evening courses and writing his Masters' Thesis.
