Edwin started out in the hotel business and worked at that for 15 years. Deciding it was time to further discover his passion for hair. He started out in the business at the bottom, and worked his way up to owning the House of Dumont for the last 25 years. Edwin worked for Elizabeth Arden as an educator, and then moved to Wella as a colour technician, and business development specialist. All done with passion and creativity for the industry.

During his spare time, Edwin likes to write and is an author of a children's story. He has cycled to Montreal three times and once to Niagara Falls for charities close to his heart. One supporting research for HIV and AIDS, with the other supporting Cancer research. He also loves to read and cook for his husband and friends.
