Edward Griffin was born in Detroit, Michigan, on November 7, 1931. As a senior in high school, he was the Master-of-Ceremonies on the CBS radio series, Make Way for Youth. He attended the University of Michigan from 1949 to 1953 where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Speech and Communications. During most of that time, he worked as a staff announcer at the University’s radio station WUOM. He married Patricia Ann Irving, a student nurse at the University of Michigan Hospital and soon thereafter became an Assistant Director at WWJ-TV, the NBC affiliate in Detroit.

Ed was called into military service in 1954 and received basic training at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, followed by an assignment at Fort Bliss, Texas, until 1956, In 1958, he went to work for the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and became a specialist in group-insurance programs. Rising quickly through the ranks, he was poised for a promising career at executive levels of the company when he became aware of political and social trends that greatly concerned him. By 1961, he was convinced that all his plans for economic security and a rewarding life were to no avail if the underlying system of freedom is destroyed. To the amazement of all, he tendered his resignation at the Equitable and became a freedom activist.

In 1965, Ed formed American Media, Inc., to publish books and produce documentary films. He published The Life and Words of Robert Welch, Founder of The John Birch Society in 1975. (Click here for Mr. Griffin’s comments on the Society’s controversial image.)

In preparation for writing his book on the Federal Reserve System, he enrolled in the College for Financial Planning located in Denver, Colorado. His goal was not to become a professional financial planner but to better understand the real world of investments and money markets. He obtained his CFP designation (Certified Financial Planner) in 1989. The first edition of his book, The Creature from Jekyll Island; A Second Look at the Federal Reserve, was published in 1994. In 2002, Ed founded Freedom Force International dedicated to the victory of individualism over collectivism. It now has members in more than 65 countries.
