About

Edgerrin James' influence extends far beyond the football field. As the founder of Edge Hospitality, he has built a multi-concept hospitality empire rooted in bold environments, authentic culture, and the kind of energy that only comes from someone who has lived at the highest level.

A Pro Football Hall of Famer (Class of 2020) and one of the most dominant running backs in NFL history, Edgerrin brought the same relentless drive that defined his playing career to the world of business. Edge Hospitality now operates across nightlife, dining, and entertainment — with venues across the South, from the streets of Atlanta to the shores of Miami.

Beyond hospitality, Edgerrin is a speaker, mentor, and author of From Gold Teeth to Gold Jacket — a story of perseverance, self-made success, and building a life entirely on your own terms. His brands, Create the Life and Forever Outside, reflect a philosophy he has lived publicly: that freedom, discipline, and authenticity are the foundation of any lasting legacy.

With multiple national projects in development, Edge Hospitality continues to expand as a force in experiential nightlife, dining, and culture.
