Ed Smart Biography

Ed Smart is the father of Elizabeth Smart, who was abducted in 2002 and rescued nine months later.

His dedication to child safety has fostered increased cooperation and understanding among various stakeholders involved in child protection efforts. He emphasizes the importance of family and the necessity for children to feel safe and secure in their environments.

In addition to his advocacy work, Smart owns a real estate and mortgage company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he resides with his wife, Lois.
