Edward Trask

As a Connecticut native who has traveled around the United States, Ed Trask is eager to bring the hope of Jesus Christ into the lives of coaches and athletes in the Northeast Region. "It's important to understand the people of New England if you want to bring them the 'Good News' of Jesus. This is a largely unchurched area of America, and returning to live here for the past 23 years has given me the opportunity to forge a lot of relationships and create the groundwork for deeper conversations about the Lord," says Trask.

With a successful 30 year career in high-level retail that included Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, Trask brings decades of supervising, marketing, and communications experience to his role as FCA Connecticut State Director. Throughout the years, Trask has also traveled around the world for both work and missions. He is passionate about building new relationships with non-believers.

"Full-time ministry has been on my heart for a long time. I know what it feels like to be successful in the eyes of the world- yet, feel deep loneliness and sadness in my heart," says Trask. In the same way, so many coaches and athletes fall victim to filling their lives with winning 'successes' rather than experiencing the true peace that comes from knowing Christ. As I meet with board members, donors, coaches, athletes, and people in my community, I am eager to share what I now know to be true: Success in this life is in knowing Jesus!

Trask grew up in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, and was a three-sport athlete before deciding to focus on tennis. He played for Palm Beach Atlantic University where he graduated with a degree in Business Management and Communications.

Trask has served six years on the Board of Deacons and Trustees at Harvest Time Church and is also a member of their Missions Committee. He lives in Norwalk, Connecticut with his wife, Erin. They have four children- Annie, Caroline, John, and Perrin.
