Alumni Profile: Ed Gonzalez
Public service is more than a career for Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. Helping
his community is a way of life for the University of Houston-Downtown alumnus.
Just as his father inspired Gonzalez to be successful and earn a college education,
he also provided the motivation to lend a helping hand to others -- or serve as a
“navigator” to those needing guidance.
“When I was a young boy, I discovered that my father was unable to read or write,”
he said.
