After graduating from LSU, Mr. Edens took his Wofford football background to Hammond High School, where he coached for 2 years. In 2000, Mr. Edens was offered a job at the National Bank of South Carolina (NBSC), and after roughly 2 years of working in branches and in private banking, he was promoted to Camden city executive.
