Ed has been with Higginbotham Family Clinic since it opened in 2011. He is a 2004 graduate of the University of North Dakota, School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Prior to becoming a P.A., he worked as an emergency room nurse for 15 years. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard as a search and rescue helicopter crewman for eight years, before returning to Malvern. He chooses family medicine because of the variety of people he gets to meet, and the relationships he forms with those families.

Ed is an avid mountain biker, and loves spending time in the outdoors with his wife Leah, his three sons, and his grandchildren. He is a member of Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church, where he enjoys working with the youth.
