Ed Chee has received international recognition for his balloon sculpting talent.  He has been featured in print media, has appeared on television, and is widely acknowledged as one of the top balloon artists in the world. 

In recent years, Ed has traveled around the world entertaining and teaching balloon twisting skills.  His unique, highly-detailed style has raised the bar for twisting as an art form.  He hosts an annual convention dedicated to showcasing and expanding the horizon on what is possible with twisted balloons.  He also produces instructional DVD's for balloon professionals and hobbyists alike to learn and improve their skills.

His balloon career started while on a business trip, looking for something to bring home for his kids.  He saw a book on balloon twisting on sale in a book store and decided it would be a nice surprise.  He bought the book and some bags of balloons, then spend a few weeks in the hotel room learning the basics.  This was the first step on a journey that later lead to competitions where he consistently finished near the top and garnered praise for his style of twisting. 

He obtained his Certified Balloon Artist (CBA) designation in 2003 by passing the requisite exams in balloon decor.  His expanded business now includes many non-balloon aspects of the entertainment and promotional industry; his company produces laser-engraved awards, banners and signs, and embroidered apparel. 

Beyond balloons, Ed is an computer information systems specialist, hosts a weekly bible study, plays guitar, likes to cook, and enjoys challenging puzzles.  His hobbies (which he rarely has time for anymore) include building models (especially sailing ships), playing chess (he was once a ranked player), bowling, and table tennis. 

Ed currently lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with his wife and two children.   He maintains an active calendar of entertainment bookings (private and corporate functions are usually booked out 6-8 weeks in advance) along with a robust travel schedule as a keynote presenter at various industry conventions around the world.
