Mr. Edge started his first business in Western Pennsylvania after furthering his education in Business Administration at Duff's Business Institute in Pittsburgh, PA., in 1968. 

His business started as a home remodeling business and after several years included new home construction and commercial development. It was during this time frame that he received the "Exterior Designer's Award" from the United States Steel Companies.

His company decided to relocate to the Southwest to enter a much larger market including Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico. Shortly thereafter, the business expanded into land development for single family homes, modular housing, commercial properties and garden apartments. During the course of this work his company became approved builders for the Veterans Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture building programs.

His companies held the highest rated building license in the State of New Mexico that enabled him to build both residential and commercial projects with an unlimited financial valuation. He also held licenses in the mechanical and plumbing aspects of the building codes. Additional licenses were held for the Manufactured and Modular home projects.

His extensive background includes the development of strategic corporate multi-year planning, budgeting, contracts, procurement, acquisition of materials, financing and the supervision of multiple subcontractors as well as his company’s support staff.
