Ed has more than 35 years of experience developing human resource philosophies and supporting strategies to improve employer’s return on their investment in human capital and is a nationally recognized expert in the assessment of the value propositions of health care interventions. Ed has developed unique solutions for employee and retiree benefits plans, including issues resulting from COVID-19, health care reform, and other significant events. He has been at the forefront of helping employers manage the changes required as a result of the ACA and has been requested by the IRS in their efforts to administer the ACA to offer his insights into how employers deliver health care benefits. Prior to founding MorningStar Actuarial Consulting, Ed was Chief Operating Officer and Chief Consulting Officer with American Fidelity Administrative Services, LLC where he drove employee benefit compliance and consulting solutions for public entities and school districts across the country. He was also a Partner with Ernst & Young where he led the employer strategy task force on Health Care Reform and consulted with Fortune 500 clients on their employee benefit plans. Ed also worked for two large employee benefit consulting firms (Mercer and Buck Consulting) where he drove employee benefit solutions for large employers (including Fortune 500 employers), unions, and large public entities. Ed started his career as the Assistant Actuary for a large health insurance company. His most recent experience at an insurance company as well as at the start of his career give him unique insights into health care that are difficult to obtain working in the consulting field alone. Ed is a frequent speaker on health care reform, COVID-19, and other health and welfare plan issues and has published several articles in national business magazines covering health care innovation, health care reform, financial risk in human resources, and quality in health care. Ed holds a BS in Applied Mathematics from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a minor in Computer Science. He is an Associate of the Society of Actuaries, a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, and a Fellow of the Conference of Consulting Actuaries (CCA). Ed was the 2018-2019 President of the CCA and currently leads its Healthcare Community. He is also the CCA representative to the International Actuarial Association's (IAA) Strategic Planning Committee and serves on the board of the International Actuarial Association Health Section (IAAHS).
