About the Author
“Shielded Vision is more than a memoir—it’s a restoration of truth, legacy, and resilience.”
Edward Jarvis is a strategic problem-solver and entrepreneurial force behind multiple ventures, including New Bern Boat Tours. He is the founder of One Xcel Inc., where he invented patented safety shields that advanced sports and industrial protection. His career spans international business development, turnaround leadership, and adaptive innovation — with formative work in China, Russia and Israel. His early technical roots include General Electric, where he consulted on Military and Small Commercial Jet Engine Programs.
Ed also served as the Founding Executive Director of Entrepreneurial Studies at Suffolk University, and Executive-in-Residence for the State of Massachusetts mentoring the next generation of business leaders. Recognized globally as a public and private turnaround expert, he brings a rare blend of technical precision and emotional depth to his memoir, Shielded Vision.
As the founder of Shielded Vision Press, Ed now channels his experience into direct-to-reader publishing, multimedia storytelling, and community engagement. He lives in coastal North Carolina, where he continues to explore the waterways, mentor local entrepreneurs, and build bridges between past and future — one story at a time.
