Ed Gulick is an architect, an artist, a bicyclist, and a candidate for city council in Billings, MT.

 

In his own words, Ed writes, “I don’t think paradise is found; I think it is created. Invest yourself in a place to create paradise.” This rings true to who Ed is as a person, having invested a lot in his community in Billings through his work at High Plains Architects, his involvement in the Billings Bicycle + Pedestrian Advisory Committee and Northern Plains Resource Council, and now through his candidacy for city council. 

 

Ed was a recipient of the Billings 40 Under 40 Award in 2010. He earned his Bachelor of Arts from Pomona College and Master of Architecture from Yale University. In his spare time, Ed enjoys renovating his 1920 Craftsman house. And when his wanderlust gets the better of him, he explores historic districts and wild landscapes on foot or by bike.

 

You can out more about Ed online at www.ed4billings.com or at www.highplainsarchitects.com. Also, follow Ed on instagram to see what he is up to in our community at @ed4billings.
