About Ed

I am married to Katherine Steward Gambill and have lived in Stokes County for over 20 years.

I'm the father of two grown daughters and one grandson.

I am the product of public school in North Carolina and attended both technical and private colleges to study business administration.

I'm a veteran of the Vietnam Era. Joined US Navy Reserves while still in High School.

One of my favorite quotes is " If there be equity at all let there be equity in all things", it's from the Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's play "The Boor".

I have work for many employers doing a wide variety of jobs to earn a living. I have worked in the building trades, in aviation, broadcasting, and in telecommunications manufacturing. For a short while I taught production sound for film and video at Piedmont Community College. I have been a small business man for many years and currently own a media production company that produces radio programs for air on public radio stations.

I am a native son of North Carolina and extremely proud of my ancestral roots. I was born in Wilkes County. I have three great, great....grandfather who fought in the Revolutionary War and one great, great...granduncle, who according to history rode three houses into the ground on a ride to rally solider from the Kings Mountain area to come fight the British at Guilford Courthouse.

My family has served in nearly every war or conflict of any importance to this country.

I was baptized into the Christian faith and have membership at First Christian Church in Winston-Salem.

The value system that guides me each day comes form several sources. First from the upbringing my Mother and Father provided, from my religious belief, from my association with Free Masonry, Toastmasters International, and from the tenets of the Democratic Party.
