Ed Brennan can make almost anyone smile. His friendly, talkative nature puts people at ease and brightens any room.

He's always been a "people person," so a career in sales seemed a natural fit. For 40 years he worked as a salesman for Sears, and many of those years involved carrying a quota card in his suit pocket. But, like most successful salesmen, Ed's first concern was not the quota but the customer. That concern was rewarded with loyal patrons, and before long Ed was managing a sales force of 30 employees who were eager to reflect his authentic helpfulness.

Today, at Village Woods, Ed continues to value authentic relationships, and he brings a spark of life to all his interactions. His spirit of caring fits in well in a community whose motto is "With You, for You!"
