Q&A with Ed Matthews
What's the craziest job you have ever had?
It would be a toss up between working at a Sonic Drive-In during high school or flow testing carburetors during a summer job while in college.

Where is your favorite place to visit?
Key West, FL and South Beach, Miami. Any beach location
Brag a little about your family.
