Several principals of the Tyler Companies and TDD Real Estate Services have participated in Vistage ranging from 5-10 years. Ed has been an invaluable chair for us, and has consulted to our companies outside of the Vistage forum. Ed draws from his vast insight and expertise gained by having worked with a broad range of successful companies over many years. He's a great facilitator, coach and mentor.
Chad Tyler President, Tyler Duncan Realty Partners
Ed is a game changer. I have only participated in his Vistage Group for less than 6 months and we have moved our company ahead 5 years. His ability to facilitate a group is fantastic and I look forward to our one on one meetings where he gives great advice and continues to make me accountable for the commitments that I have made.

Ed combines an excellent knowledge of cutting edge management theory with a pragmatic approach to business issues.
