Ed graduated from the University of Texas where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity. After a stint in the U.S. Army Corp (Finance Corps), he began his lifelong career in the life insurance business with New York Life. He moved on to open his own agency, Ed Golden & Associates. Ed and his wife Dolly were very involved in the community of Austin.
