In 2017, Edwin left NDOW to pursue writing and teaching full time, penning a biweekly column for the Reno Gazette Journal and occasional essays for national outlets like CNN while teaching English at Truckee Meadows Community College. During this time Ed took up yoga to improve his health and went on to earn his 200-hour teaching certificate in 2020. With his knowledge of Reno and the business community, Edwin opened a yoga studio in Northwest Reno last year, and it has become a thriving small business.

- Create opportunities for the next generation.
Public safety - We need an agreement to improve fire and medical services between the county and city.
