He is a nationally recognized expert on strategic alliance development and implementation, with a marketing sub-specialty. Resulting from his extensive research in the area of strategic alliances, he created the Total Organizational Partnering System (TOPS) that he reefers to as the Star of Success.

His presentations, based on the idea of a mutually beneficial partnering philosophy have evolved through his years of research and teaching management, marketing, and selling skills.

What has earned Rigsbee favor with corporations and national associations throughout North America is his ability to synthesize industry specific information along with proven success strategies and offer workable organizational and industry-wide solutions.

Ed and his wife Regina have two sons, Ryan and Jonathan. They have been married and resided in Thousand Oaks, CA since 1974.
