Ed Poach

Ed, originally from western Pennsylvania and later central West Virginia, has been deeply connected to music throughout his life. 

After completing his undergraduate studies in marketing, psychology, and finance at Wheeling Jesuit University in 1996, he immediately embarked on building a successful financial planning and wealth management practice. 

Since 1999, he has called Washington, Pennsylvania, home, where he lives with his wife and five children. Together, they have maintained a rich musical presence, participating in everything from church events to community engagements and professional performances, including contributions to the Washington Symphony Orchestra (WSO). 

Today, Ed proudly continues to lead his firm, FORTIFY (tm) Private Wealth Management which has grown and flourished, while also serving on the board of the WSO.
