Our Reputation

Eric’s guidance on walking me through important plan changes was very valuable to me and the organization. We have recognized significant cost savings without changing the level of coverage needed. He is very hands-on and works very closely with me to guide our firm on the rapid growth in our business, and offers smart, insightful and timely service. Over the past 30 years of my career I have had the opportunity to work with many different advisors, and Eric is the best by a large measure.
