A native of the Texas Panhandle, he earned dual Baccalaureate degrees in Zoology and Microbiology from Texas Tech University before obtaining his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Upon entering the United States Air Force, Dr. Edgin completed his residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center. Over a distinguished 21-year military career at six bases, he achieved the rank of Colonel and ultimately served as Chairman of the Department and Director of the Graduate Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Program at Wilford Hall.
