May 10: Jason "Jay" Redman - Mission: Invincible Marriage

Ed Rush, U.S. Marine Corps

950 miles an hour. Now that’s fast. But it’s not nearly as fast as Ed Rush flew in his combat career as a decorated F-18 pilot, which included over 50 combat missions and two tours to Iraq. While in the Marines, Ed served as one of the country’s leading instructors on aerial dog fighting and recently worked as a key player in the development of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

Ed is a sought-after speaker, bringing his dynamic gifts to the stage in engaging ways that make his clients look great. Ed also serves as the “secret weapon” that over 300 companies have brought in “through the back door” to help them increase profit and decrease waste, consulting them with honesty and effectiveness.

After two combat tours to Iraq, Ed left full-time active duty to speak, write, and share a message that will change the world. He has achieved all of this despite possessing a below-average intelligence (case in point: Ed failed Kindergarten).

Ed Rush is a decorated Marine Corps F/A-18 pilot. At the height of his career, he was the #1 instructor in the Marine Corps for 1-against-1 dogfighting and was instrumental in the training development for the new F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.

Ed has flown close to 2,000 tactical aircraft hours, with over 50 missions in combat for which he was awarded an Air Medal.

He has flown everything from small trainers to Mach 2 fighters, including T-34, T-2, A-4, H-1, F/A-18, F-5, and MiG-21. He also flew and beat a Russian-made MiG-29 in a training mission. The lessons Ed learned in the cockpit are instrumental and provide the content basis for much of his consulting and speaking.

Check out his latest book, God Talks: How to Have a Friendship with God (Even if You’ve Made a Million Mistakes). Ed’s books and expertise have been featured on CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC.
