My name is Edward, and I am currently a Chief in the USCG. I am married to a fantastic lady who travels an hour to work daily as a high school teacher. I also have three children ages 15,14, and 11. My two older sons are actively involved in their school wrestling team. My daughter is my sweetheart and is just starting middle school! It’s such a difficult age, and I am thankful my wife is there to hold it all down while I am away to provide a strong female role model for her, but she is admittedly losing her mind with my teenage sons. I stay in contact with my family as much as I can via FaceTime calls and text messages, but I can’t wait to be back and see and hug them face to face. And provide a strong male influence back into teens' lives.

Thank you so much !! I was able to reunite with my family after 6 months away and another six months to go. This was a perfect way to relax after a super stressful experience. Universal was fantastic !!
