Eric began his career as a lawyer, practicing law for eight years and being promoted to partner at his firm. He then joined one of the Big Four accounting and consulting firms, where he consulted with Fortune 500 and middle market companies throughout the U.S. and led and managed several different business units.

His role with both organizations is to define fund-raising, investment, and communication strategies and operational tactics, while coaching individual officers and directors.
