While at USC, Eddie worked in several restaurants, including the Town House Hotel where he was offered his first management position before graduating with a psychology degree in 1987. Drawn to the food and beverage industry, Eddie worked his way to the general manager position of Motor Supply Co Bistro, located in Columbia's burgeoning Congaree Vista district.
