Edmund has also demonstrated his ability to bring new and innovative approaches to establish technical processes. An “out of the box” thinker with strong abilities and creative thinking, he is more than capable of bringing this product to life.

Why I am Committed to Spectrum 8​
​
“My wife, Patricia “Trish” Ackerman introduced me to Kent Baker. Although sports were her bailiwick and were not necessarily mine, I was immediately taken by Kent’s proposal for the development of a physical assessment program that communicates via the use of color. When I saw how the use of color not only motivated the children but also how much fun they were having, I was “hooked”. The fact that this software is being developed to help people throughout their entire life cycle is also a motivating factor. It is particularly motivating to me since I am now in the category of “senior citizen” and understand how very important health is to the quality of our lives.
​
”Ed's innovation and creativity has help create many of the early features of the Spectrum 8 software application." He has made seamless transition into the world of physical education and athletic assessment. He unquestionably has taken on some key roles in our development and has responded with impressive results."
