In his role, Edgar is charged with leading the development of market insights, go-to market initiatives, and advising project teams on actionable and innovative workforce and economic strategies for government and public sector clients.
Edgar’s passion and background is in higher education, workforce development, and strategic partnerships. He’s worked with legislators, students, industry partners, and communities to build pathways to prosperity for underserved populations, and custom talent and training solutions for Fortune 500 commercial clients and governments in numerous states across the U.S.

Edgar is a football nut, and enjoys his pets, traveling, landscaping, and all things BBQ! He and his wife Eliska reside in Georgetown, TX, and are proud members of First Baptist Georgetown. When not working, you’ll likely see Edgar behind the grill or smoker, hosting friends and family, or filled with anxiety watching a Texas Longhorns game (Hook ‘EM!).
Edgar’s discipleship and faith have grown exponentially over the years and strives to serve humbly as a Christian business leader in his church, workplace, and community.
