Ed has a passion to help build better churches, not to just build better church buildings. He serves as president of Aspen Group, the Midwest's premiere church construction company. Aspen Group designs and builds original, effective facilities for growing churches by using an integrated process, combining visioning, feasibility, architecture and construction.

When Ed met Bill Couchenour, the two discovered they had much more in common than just an expertise in building churches. They both share a deep desire to understand what factors contribute to ministry effectiveness. It was this shared vision and passion that led to the birth of Cornerstone Knowledge Network (CKN), a joint effort initiated by Aspen Group and Cogun, Inc.

As a founding member of CKN, Ed has directed research that demonstrates building better churches requires an understanding and clear alignment of these dynamics: Evolving Culture, Relevant Ministry, Empowering Leadership, and Intentional Facilities. Along with speaking at the CKN regional conferences, Ed is a frequent speaker at events such as WFX, NACBA and NACFM conferences,
