Ed has been in government contracting for 16 years and was introduced to FACETS when he challenged his team at Serco to find a local charitable organization to become involved with. He shares that his father grew up in foster homes and instilled in him from a young age the importance of serving the underprivileged and uplifting others.

Ed is a dedicated family man and enjoys hiking, reading, and fantasy football.

Ravi Modi, currently of SAIC, Inc., grew up in India and saw firsthand the difference a compassionate support system can make during hard times.
