Eric interned with Mike at Deloitte in 2012 and then served as a CPA with Deloitte supporting the tax and accounting needs of privately held businesses, high-net-worth families, and real estate concerns. After Deloitte, Eric joined Phoenix Investors as Tax Director (commercial real estate family office) before he decided to venture out on his own. A real estate investor himself, Eric specializes in working with real estate owners and investors on tax minimization strategies.

Eric and his wife Jordan live in Brookfield. They are blessed with two little boys and another child on the way. Outside of the office, Eric enjoys spending time with his family, cycling, golfing, playing basketball, and anything in the great outdoors.
