Professional background
About Eric
After 15 years in the restaurant and bartending industry, I’m bringing my passion for helping people to a new career in mortgage lending. Over the years, many of my regular customers who worked in mortgage and real estate encouraged me to explore the industry. Their enthusiasm, along with the relationships we built, inspired me to take the next step. My hospitality background taught me how to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and meet different needs while staying calm under pressure. Most importantly, it taught me that great service is personal. Whether it’s remembering the little details, sharing a laugh, or going the extra mile, I’ve always worked to make people feel welcome and valued. Many of those customer relationships have become lasting connections that I maintain today. As I begin my mortgage career, my goal is to help clients feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the home financing process. Having purchased a home myself, I understand how exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—the experience can be. I want clients to feel comfortable asking questions, taking time to understand their options, and making decisions with confidence. I enjoy connecting face to face, but I’m happy to communicate in whatever way works best for each client. I’ve called Libertyville home my entire life, attended local schools, and have deep family ties to the community. Growing up, I was actively involved in Boy Scouts of America, where I earned the rank of Eagle Scout and participated in community service projects and fundraisers. That commitment to serving others continues to shape my approach to work and life. Outside of work, I enjoy golfing, taking walks, spending time with friends, and playing video games. My girlfriend and I share strong roots in Libertyville and love traveling, exploring new places, and settling in for a scary movie or TV show—especially during our favorite fall and winter seasons.
