Organizational Impact: As an emcee, Ed has been the face of nearly every non-profit within the Santa Clarita
Valley. In 2000, Ed was a big part of helping to put Carousel Ranch on the map. Because of his efforts,
Carousel Ranch was awarded Charity of the Year in 2000. Ed’s involvement through the years grew, not only as
an advocate for the work that they do, but as a volunteer, advisor, and friend. Ed has assisted them as a liaison
with Assemblyman Cameron’s Smyth’s office and as a board liaison for his current employer, Derek Sage, while
he served on the board. Since beginning at SOS, Ed has worked every year to handle Carousel’s lighting and
sound for the annual Heart of the West event. Ed was a founding board member of WiSH and continues to be
a significant, contributing member. Ed’s broad knowledge of our community lends itself to an understanding
of what one needs to do to best support the students of the Santa Clarita Valley. He offers significant nonprofit,
in-kind donations. On game day and every day, Ed is the first one there, setting up, and the last one to leave,
breaking down. He more than makes up his weight in sweat equity at every single event he supports.
Biography: Ed Masterson has lived in the Santa Clarita Valley for 29 years (1998-2017) with his wife, Valerie,
his 21-year-old son, Gage, and his 17-year-old daughter, Lizzy. Ed moved to our valley while he was working
for Universal Studios – starting as a tour guide. He moved on to production coordinator for network television
shows. Living and working in the SCV, Ed was key account manager for Golden West K-9 Security to increase
its brand awareness and public relations. While at that position, the company earned “Medium Business of the
Year” through the SCV Chamber of Commerce. Ed became the director of Public Relations and the Community
Relations & Corporate Partner liaison for the Loose Goose Wine Festival in Valencia. He moved into public
service by becoming Assemblyman Cameron Smyth’s field representative and was liaison for the “Holocaust
Memorial Project,” connecting survivors with local high school students for interview sessions submitted to the
state archives. After leaving his field rep position, he became Interim CEO of the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber
of Commerce and has lobbied on behalf of the SCV in Washington, DC.
