Born in Manhattan and raised by two Brooklynites in Northern New Jersey, Eddie grew up in a family mix of chronic DIYers and professional contractors. Eddie went to Regis High School in NYC, and graduated from Colgate University in 2013. He met his wife Molly, a Litchfield native, and immediately fell in love with the area during his first visit in 2014. Every trip back after that only further reinforced his goal to become a full-time resident in the Litchfield Hills.

While in New York, Eddie worked over a decade in the language service industry primarily as the Director of Production for a legal translation provider with offices in New York, San Francisco, Hawaii, and London. Eddie oversaw all offices' project managers responsible for handling urgent, highly sensitive requests for clients including US and foreign state agencies, Am Law 100 Firms, and some of the largest global retailers. On off-nights and weekends in the mid-2010s, he was a freelance concert photographer and artist interviewer for online music publications.

In 2020, after renting an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan for seven years, Eddie and Molly purchased their dream home in Morris, CT. They promptly adopted a rescue puppy named Duncan, and hosted their wedding reception in their backyard. Eddie is now the Chairman of the Morris Ordinance Committee, and an active member of the Litchfield Country Club.

After transitioning to full-time residency in Morris, Eddie joined William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty to lead a career directly connected to the area he is privileged to call his home. He is determined to help his clients, whether local to the region or growing from weekend visitors to homeowners themselves, find their own dream home. He draws from his extensive experience with high-level account services and project execution to ensure clients are carefully and transparently guided throughout the entire real estate process.
