Ed is an economist, policy advocate, author, and public speaker for over 40 years. Ed served as a Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Market Intelligence at Portland Cement Association for over two decades.

Earlier in his career, Ed held senior positions at Chase-Manhattan Bank, Standard and Poors, and Wharton Econometrics where he collaborated with Nobel Laureate Lawrence Klein.  He was also a senior intelligence officer at the Central Intelligence Agency, where he received a commendation from then Deputy Director of Intelligence Bob Gates (later Secretary of Defense).  He also served as an analyst in the Office of Senator Edward M.
