Dear Parents and Prospective Students,

I am a former healthcare attorney and civil litigator and I am in the middle of a career transition. I live and work in Washington, D.C., where I enjoy teaching tennis and baseball to students of all ages and skill levels. I also work as a college adviser for student-athletes. More specifically, I am the Director of the Headfirst College Advisory Team's Tennis Division. I am an investor and part-owner of several athletic and tennis facilities throughout the United States. Currently, I am continuing my work with college advisees and tennis and baseball students while interviewing with several large management consulting firms.

I am a passionate and highly effective adviser, coach, and mentor in many different capacities. Indeed, I have experience tutoring students of all ages in different stages of their education. I work with students in grade school, high school, college, and graduate school. I also help students prepare for a number of standardized tests.

As an aside, I work with high school students studying Art History and AP Art History (I mention this here because AP Art History was not listed as an option when I created my profile).

There is a lot more that I could include here, but I trust that this background information is sufficient for your purposes. I look forward to working with you very soon!

My Best,
Ed
