He graduated from Housatonic Community College in 2013 and is on his way to a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications from the University of Bridgeport.
Between high school and college, Eddie served in the U.S. Army, which he credits for playing a "huge role into the man that I have become." Eddie bravely toured Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom in 2005 and 2006.
