I have known and been friends with Eric since we were in High School together. Despite our lives having changed dramatically since then and living states apart he is still someone that I trust and respect to the highest degree. He is motivated, encouraging and committed to achieving the highest level of success not just for himself and his family, but for his friends and clients. He is a person who treats everyone he meets and works with as if they were a friend or family member.
