Edward Elster
Owner

I am married and have three sons. I am originally from San Francisco, California, but relocated here in Tucson in 1994. I retired from both military and civilian careers. After retirement, I was ordained by American Marriage Ministries in October 2016 and have done 3 weddings recently. On the personal side, my interests and hobbies are that I like to go bowling, traveling to historic sites, reading, collecting coins, and utilizing my computer skills. I enjoy mystery and spy movies and novels. As far as literature, I like English and American poetry, especially that of the Romantic period.
