Raised in Louisville, KY, Eric had two passions as a kid, sports & numbers. Sports taught him hard work, patience, responsibility, and teamwork. Numbers grew his analytical thinking skills and began a desire to learn how money works. Eric’s love for teaching led him to the University of Kentucky, where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Family & Consumer Science, a Master of Arts in Teaching, and a Masters in Education Specialist. After 14 years in the Education field, his love for numbers won out. Eric holds his FINRA Series 6, 63, 65, & 7 Registration and became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ in 2025. Eric uses his teaching and finance skills to assist clients with their financial planning needs. Eric and his wife, Sheila, have 3 children: Anna (7), Drake & Bodhi (6)
