Edward Pennington

Ed Pennington graduated from a Military High School and then attended the University of Arizona where he received his BS degree. After graduating he managed a retail men's clothing store until one day he and his high school best friend were asked to play guitars and sing at a local night club. Well, Ed quickly decided to quit the long hours of managing the clothing store and work full time as a musician. He and his buddy "Kim" found themselves playing music all around the country and opening for acts such as "The Ink Spots", Little Anthony and The Imperials" and "The Stories" just to name a few. After approximately 5 years of the music business Ed decided to open an athletic footwear business know as "The Athlete's Foot" and eventually open retail stores in Ohio, Arizona and Texas. The retail business led him to exporting large quantities of Nike, Reebok, Converse and Addidas shoes into Mexico and South America.
