The Cumorah Foundation: and The Beginnings of Empire

By Edward Maumbauer

Edward Bachman walked out of federal prison with nothing but a duffel bag, five years of bad decisions, and a stubborn refusal to let the system finish what it started. One lucky gamble on Wall Street turned into an empire, and the Cumorah Foundation was born-not as another faceless conglomerate, but as a vehicle for something bigger: redemption, self-reliance, and the raw human drive to reach for the stars when Earth starts feeling too small and too regulated. From a modest real estate operation in Salt Lake City, the Foundation grows into a powerhouse of aerospace innovation, building magnetic catapults that hurl spaceplanes into orbit, terraforming projects on Venus, and the first permanent settlements on Mars. But progress has enemies. When a desperate government tries to chain it all back down with the 30th Amendment, Bachman and his family draw a line that changes history.

What begins as one man's second chance becomes the spark for humanity's interstellar future. Told with the weary honesty of someone who has seen both the inside of a cell and the view from low Earth orbit, The Cumorah Foundation is the story of how a convicted felon, his fiercely practical wife, and their unlikely band of dreamers and troublemakers built an empire among the stars-on faith, grit, and the unapologetic belief that the future belongs to those willing to reach for it. No purple prose, no sanitized heroes. Just the hard, lived-in truth of what it costs to drag humanity kicking and screaming into the next chapter.
