Stylin' In the
French Quarter
As Eddie and his partner continue to grow in the home, they have exciting plans to enhance the living experience by expanding the entertainment area beyond the courtyard. “The next phase of the house is to further develop the outdoor space,” Eddie explains. And with the help and expertise of their architect Jeremy Kruska and developer James Schulze, multi level decks will soon be added. “I’m most excited about creating an outdoor space which is accessible and welcoming” he proclaims. Eddie’s love for his home is not just because of the structure itself but because of its surroundings. “I truly love my neighbors and community—we are all stewards of this magnificent city we are blessed to call home.”
Eddie’s Ode to Charleston
“I think we live in one of the most kind and dynamic cities in the world. The greatness of any city is solely defined by its inhabitants—Charleston is extraordinary because Charlestonians are extraordinary. No one can deny our city in and of itself is stunning, but the thing that makes Charleston spectacular are the people you encounter each and every day.” He continues, “There once was a time I considered relocating due to the challenges surrounding the Emanuel 9 tragedy, but the way Charleston united and gained strength rooted in love and compassion made it clear to me there’s no other place I’d want to call home.

I proudly call myself a Charlestonian because of countless people who have welcomed me to be a part of this powerful yet humble community.”
What Comes Next
“Love, peace, and happiness and I am grateful to say I have all three. Our dreams are not always attained because of talent or education but it’s often due to dedication, persistence, and diligence. Although I am beyond grateful for what has surfaced during the last decade of my life, I am most excited about what the next decade has in store—the best is yet to come!” ♥
