Edwards holds a master’s degree in National Security Strategy from the National Defense University and a bachelor’s in Business Administration from the University of Kentucky.  He is fluent in Spanish and speaks basic Russian and Bahasa Indonesia.  He was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Bolivia in the mid-1990s, and has since enjoyed volunteering in various capacities, including as President of a U.S. Embassy community association in Russia, and helping at-risk youth in El Salvador.

Until last month, the CFOO position had been managed by Rob Doane who has moved over to lead the CDP’s property management efforts as the new Chief Property Management Officer.
