Ed Bonilla
Ed Bonilla is a teacher, singer, husband and father in his hometown of Stockton California. A high school English teacher with 22 years of experience, Ed was asked to open a small school for expelled students eight years ago called Civic Pride Independent Academy. Since then, he has had a lot of success working with Stockton’s disadvantaged youth. Ed’s band Radical Times plays all over Northern California and recently played for thousands of people at the North Beach Festival in the heart of San Francisco. Ed has completed two novels at this time. His first novel, Mr. Smith can I go to the bathroom? was represented by an excellent agent, but never found success. Ed often brags to his students that Smith was rejected more than 100 times. Ed went to college at Brigham Young University and otherwise has always lived in Stockton. He is very involved in making Stockton a better place for his students and for his family. Ed is happily married to his beautiful wife Jeni and has three children; Dakota, Noah and baby Rosie.
