Eagle Research Associates, Inc. was founded by the President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Lynndel R. Edgington.  Lynn seeing the lack of education regarding investments by the general public, and aware of the constraints of Law Enforcement Agencies to deal with the explosion of Internet investment scams, Eagle Research Associates, Inc. was born.  In sharing his ideas and goals for the corporation with others, Lynn was able to assemble a strong management team, Board of Directors, and a multi-talented team comprising the research and investigative abilities of the corporation.

MANAGEMENT TEAM:

Eagle consists of a highly skilled management team and team members:

Lynndel “Lynn” Edgington, Founder/President/Chairman:

Lynn brings over 18 years of Insurance, Financial Services, and Mortgage Lending experience, plus over 20 years of business consulting experience.  Lynn has worked with 3 of the top 25 insurance companies in the United States, a business consultant, and as an investment advisor to client companies.  He has worked in the credit union industry, and has served in two mega-churches as an administrator and consultant.  In 1991 he formed a new business consulting company writing business plans, marketing plans, and/or strategic plans for startup to mature companies.  He assisted in locating venture capital and expansion capital, as well as formulated strategies for joint ventures and strategic alliances for his clients.  He has spent the last two years researching Internet investment scams, how they operate, the lack of investment knowledge by the general public and the problems facing law enforcement in dealing with the explosion of Internet investment fraud.  In working with others, who are now a part of the team, he was encouraged to form a company to help stop Internet investment fraud.  Thus Eagle Research Associates, Inc. was founded. 

He is a graduate of Ball State University with a BS Degree majoring in Business Administration and Political Science.
