Personal History:	Born in the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast, Ireland. He grew up in Carrickfergus. The family then moved while Ed was still young and shortly afterwards Ed's sister Eileen was born. At the age of three he had a minor accident in which he broke his left leg this meant that he never attended kindergarten. At the age of four he attended a local primary school for seven years. During that time he discovered that he had the ability to make friends with people no matter what their age group were. He also made a couple of enemies during that time as well. Thankfully for him his friends were looking out for him though he never noticed until afterwards. An illness in his fifth year knocked him back a bit. So he retook the fifth year. Though he was able to move on to high school after he had completed year six. High school was different. The same things happened with some distinct differences. He became a bit of a loner and found it difficult to make friends. He greatly enjoyed the science classes and taking part in science experiments. If in hindsight he had followed this interest as far as he could have he would have probably gone straight to Starfleet. After High School he went to College and enrolled in a course for Computer Studies. He got on well with some of the people in the class. Yet his temper let him down and made him feel a lot more reclusive though he was surrounded by people. When the course ended and he had passed the course he started looking for work. Not being sure of where he wanted to be and he found it difficult to settle in one job. This caused a spree of failures. His failed jobs came from character clashes in work, which in turn led to frayed tempers and blown fuses and a feeling that it was time to move on. He had a difficulty of dwelling too much on times he had let his temper go too far. This caused his work to slip and lost him numerous jobs. He had quite a few suicidal thoughts when his jobs started going downhill. Though his mum was there for him and guided him to try and apply to Starfleet. He's still not entirely sure of himself still because he has never traveled much and though he studied the history archives a lot he had never been away from Earth. He got on well with his sister and brother. Though things between his brother and Ed went downhill for a while after he started at year three in the same primary school as Ed. They fought often and got into some very vicious fights during Ed's late teens. It took quiet a few years before they started to get on well with each other. Though things are not as tense between them now. When he was successful in enrolling for Starfleet Academy. Both his parents were delighted. Attending the academy was a double education for Ed. As well as attending classes, he also met many races he had never seen before. He drifted through the academy making very few friends. Eventually graduated at the age of 23. His first post was on the starship Titan. He was present onboard when Titan left for the Tharos system, though by the time he got around to reported in for duty the away team had already gone down to the planet's surface. After the first attempt to break the atmosphere had backfired an untested idea of Ed's succeeded in clearing the atmosphere allowing the Titan to rescue the away team. After a memorial service onboard Titan for those who had been killed during the mission the Titan returned to Starbase Bravo for repairs and restocking. During Ed's first shore leave he got involved in a rescue mission in Romluan Space where they picked up two Romulan defectors. One of which was from the T'al Shiar and was a childhood friend of the First Officer on the Titan. Ed also aided in the smuggling of some items, which were picked up in exchange for pass codes for the tachyon sensor net. Ed has quickly risen from Ensign to Lieutenant in a short time. This has been a bit of a shock to him. His main hope is that he will not prove to be a disappointment to those who have placed their trust in him.

Questions

Most Painful Experience:	During the Tharos mission Ed had set up a de-ionization through the sensor array. The beam seemed to work. Due to the stress put on the sensor array by the beam a plasma conduit exploded seriously injuring Lt Sonak. Then when a team of engineers including Lt Derexis went to investigate the explosion they were unable to teleport Sonak to sickbay due to a power out caused by the overloading of the sensor array and were all killed in the subsequent plasma fire. Ed feels guilt and shame at failing to deactivate the beam before the overload occurred. He also feels deep regret at not thinking of equipping the probes with shield generators before going ahead with the de-ionization beam.
Best Time:	Being trusted by LCdr Tei when he needed someone to work sensors when they went to meet T'Manda in Romulan space.
Most Crucial Experience:	Succeeding in equipping probes with shield generators and clearing the atmosphere of Tharos III by blocking the solar radiation from the Tharosian sun using the modified probes. Ed had to put his fears and doubts aside and made his plan happen, even though he did not wait to check if it would work in a simulation. Ed's success felt for him to be tinged with sadness at the length of time it took him to come up with the plan.
Role Model:	Reg Barclay. Despite the catalogue of disasters that has occurred to Reg he has always come through. He overcame his holo-addiction and transporter phobia. He also accidentally helped discovered 'Barclay's Proto-Morphosis' and was indirectly useful in first contact with the Cytherians. Reg was also instrumental in establishing contact with Voyager while they were trapped in the Delta Quadrant. Thought Reg is not the ideal Starfleet Officer, he is a hero to those who feel that they might not have what it takes to be in Starfleet and his successes have shown them that even those who might seem insignificant are still able to be as vital to Starfleet as the more successful members of the crew.
