Something You Might Not Guess About Eddie
Outside of his career here at the OFE, Eddie is a devoted family man and is engaged in his community. Inspired by the loving home provided by his parents, Eddie continues to share his “family-first” mentality through time spent with his siblings, children, grandchildren, and his newly adopted pug. Amongst his other siblings, Eddie also grew up alongside his loving brother John, who was born with special needs. This unique experience is what fosters an appreciation for what he has and respect for those who experience life under different circumstances. Eddie is John’s guardian, spending time with him and ensuring John continues to enjoy life as part of a affectionate family.
Eddie looks forward to meeting you in the Nubian Square or via Zoom! If you are interested in financial coaching, please call (617) 541-2670 to schedule an appointment or for more information.
