Ed Piper, Jr. studied journalism at California State University, Chico, and photojournalism at Moorpark (CA) College and Chico State.

He photographed the Vikings' boys basketball teams throughout their back-to-back CIF Division 3 championships in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009, narrowly missing a third consecutive CIF title in 2009-2010 on a 50-50 call at the buzzer at the end of the game against Mount Miguel, which ended in three free throws to make two. Mount Miguel made two of the free throws to win.
