												<div class="bio"><p><span style="color:#222222;font-family:Arial;font-size:9.5pt;">Ed opened Godwin Motors on West Beltline in 1985. He started the dealership with only two employees and worked tirelessly those first few years building a business in the Midlands community that is now in its 32nd year.  Ed’s number one goal has never changed - to sell quality cars and provide great customer service.  Ed does not work in the day to day operations anymore, but helps the dealership with body and paint repair. Ed and his wife Marcia have been married for more than 33 years. They have 2 daughters, Ashley and Allison, and five granddaughters. They now enjoy spending time cruising around the Caribbean and shrimping in Beaufort.</span></p>
