A passionate worshipper, Eddie loves to bring people before God in worship. He is currently a worship leader at a community church. He is married to Elisha and they have one son, Eddie III.

Eddie is a third generation musician. As a young boy he would sit in the basement for hours and listen to his Dad's band play. He developed a love for music at a young age but didn't pick up an instrument until his early twenties. He started off playing drums and "sitting in" for his uncle Jim on the first two songs of the second set when his Dad's band would play out. 

Aaron, Eddie's younger brother, started playing guitar at age eleven, so by the time Eddie bought his first drumset, they we're ready to rock! With Eddie Sr. playing bass and singing, they would have long jam sessions in the basement on Friday and Saturday nights.

Once things started moving along, it was time to put a band together.

Eddie gave his life to Christ shortly after meeting Elisha. This turned his world upside down; he no longer wanted to play where he played and play what he played. In came Jesus and out went the bar scene. He struggled for a while to find himself musically. He knew he needed to head in a different direction but he didn't know where to look; until he attended a church service at the Vineyard Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. He knew right away that this was what he'd been looking for. The worship music spoke to him deeply and then he set off to form his own Christian band.

Eddie met up with singer/songwriter, Stan Mann and began playing worship covers as well as working on some originals. When Eddie's brother, Aaron, joined the band, it was the perfect fit. All they needed was a bass player - and in came Eddie "Pops" Sr. once again. They named the band Chasing Superman and played shows from northern Ohio to Pigeon Forge, Tennesee.

It was while playing drums for Chasing Superman that Eddie first had the idea of playing guitar and fronting a band of his own. 

After a three year stint, Eddie left Chasing Superman and worked with various artists until he came across a community church he loved. Here he became the Worship Minister who directed all of the music, while still playing the drums. During a change in the churches service format, Eddie began to study guitar and play during Saturday night services. As God blessed his ability to learn, Eddie grew quickly. It was only a little over a year later that he was playing guitar every week at church. 

Songwriting has been a part of Eddie since he was a little boy but with this new opportunity at church, he could develop this gift even more. Within the next year, the congregation had come to love his worship songs. 

Right now Eddie is studying voice with Jesse Nemitz, an instructor at Brett Manning's Singing Success. He is working hard on putting everything together and letting God continue to open doors for him. He plans on continuing to travel in '09, playing at other churches, festivals, and events while still leading worship at his home church.
