ED NEWMAN ON HIS JOURNEY FROM GRIDIRON TO GAVEL

ED NEWMAN is a former professional football player who was selected by Don Shula and the “perfect season” Miami Dolphins in the sixth round of the 1973 NFL draft. Newman played 12 seasons with the team and participated in one winning Super Bowl and two American Conference championships. He earned All-Pro recognition four times before reluctantly breaking from the Dolphins with a knee injury. Newman went on to pursue a law degree and served as a civil litigator and then a county court judge in Miami-Dade County for 28 years.

HOLLY NEWMAN GREENBERG became a Miami Dolphins fan simply because it was “her father’s team.” After graduating from Duke University with summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa honors, Newman Greenberg earned a master’s degree in organizational psychology from Teachers College at Columbia University. She used her credentials to shape the culture of numerous Fortune 500 companies and then, following the birth of her children, shifted her focus to her family and fulfilled her dream of memorializing her father’s story in Warrior Judge: One Man's Journey from Gridiron to Gavel (Hawes & Jenkins).
