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 2 tours to Iraq. While in the Marines, Ed served as the 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.

After 2 combat tours to Iraq, Ed left full-time active duty to speak, write, and share a message that will change the world. Ed’s clients range from small startups to multi-million dollar – multi-national organizations and include CEOs, founders, political leaders, sports teams, national universities, Hollywood stars, and one of the contestants on Season #1 of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice.

He has achieved all of this despite possessing a below-average intelligence (case in point: Ed failed Kindergarten).

Ed’s books and expertise have been featured on CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC. To follow or connect with Ed, head over to www.EdRush.com.

Nicci Toomey is an inspirational writer, speaker, and author of The Time is Now, a call to the church and its people to take a fresh look at the great commission.
Having spent equal amounts of time in a small community church and a multi-campus global church, Nicci draws from her experience serving in a wide range of ministries behind the scenes, among the people, and from the platform. On completing a Cert IV in Ministry (Pastoral Leadership), she felt compelled to veer off the study path and pursue writing.
After walking more years without Jesus than with Him, Nicci is uniquely positioned to understand both sides of the evangelical call. Her greatest desire is to encourage people to place their hope in Jesus and, once discovered, share that hope with those around them.
Navigating her family’s multiple disabilities means life is not always easy. Still, Nicci trusts the light of Jesus in her and has the power to shine bright for all to see because God doesn’t need a perfect life, simply a surrendered one.

Nicci is a wife and mother living on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Australia. Categorising herself as an ‘introverted people lover’ who relishes a quiet, calm environment, you’ll likely find her in a quiet corner somewhere or laughing and loving life with friends.

You can connect with Nicci at www.niccitoomey.com or on Instagram @niccitoomey
