About Ed Black

 

So here is a little bit about me, Ed Black.



I am a Licensed Private Investigator, a Certified Public Accountant, a Certified Fraud Examiner

and a Certified Internal Auditor

  

with four decades of experience investigating frauds across the United States and in Western Europe.

 

 

Although I was educated as an accountant and received a "Bachelor’s" in business administration

 

from Adelphi University (Garden City, Long Island, New York),

 

I have always immersed himself in American history,

 

from my days as a youth reading American Heritage magazine

 

to my current membership in the American Historical Association.

 

 



In addition to my professional investigative work, I enjoy immensely

writing fiction and nonfiction stories as well as screenplays.

 

On the personal side, I am blessed with the two "kids" who are as talenetd as they are just plain good people.



My daughter Jessica is a construction engineer and super great artist

 

and my son Edson is a professional guitarist, actor and screenwriter.        

I

 

 

I also spend as much time as I can with my super great grandkids,

 

Osvaldo and Octavia,

 

while they patiently teach me (once again), 

how to use my iPad to download cool games and videos.

 

I am also a proud long-time member of my home town's police reserve force.
