Insurance Advisor, Partner

Eric found a love for insurance shortly after becoming licensed for life insurance with MassMutual in 2001. One of his first experiences after starting in the business was to deliver a life insurance benefit check to a family and noticed how vital that check was to that family's future after losing a loved one. Since then, Eric has expanded his expertise into most other types of insurance, knowing that his clients would be best served by someone that knew the business and had the experience to help their families determine the right solution for them. This includes disability income protection, long term care insurance, health plan and Medicare Supplements, property and casualty and so much more.

Eric has spent the past 20 years volunteering in youth programs throughout the city of Rochester and beyond. Eric has been active in youth sports, The Boy Scouts of America, and the Local Music Program. Most recently, Eric has become involved with the Special Olympics of NH as a committee member of the Annual Basketball Tournament held in March each year.

Eric has been married to his wife, Clara, for 20 years and together they have 3 children. Ben is a recent graduate of Spaulding High School where he participated in the band and starred in several Drama productions including Mama Mia. AJ is a current Spaulding High School senior that is a 3 sport athlete, competing in Golf, Basketball and Baseball. Anna is a Freshman at Spaulding High School. She is active in the music program and plays both basketball and softball. With softball as her primary sport, she competes during the summer with several summer travel programs.
