About Eric

As a dedicated husband, father of two, and lifelong resident of the Duluth area, I’ve built my life around family, community, and the pursuit of meaningful relationships. With 25 years of experience in sales, I understand that real estate is more than just buying or selling a house—it's about finding a place to create lasting memories and a foundation for your future.
My primary goal is to ensure that every client feels like my top priority. I take pride in fostering genuine connections with both buyers and sellers, guiding them with care and expertise through every step of the process. I believe that owning a home is a cornerstone of the American Dream, and I am committed to helping you achieve that dream with enthusiasm and determination.
For me, being a Realtor is not just a job—it’s a calling. It’s what drives my passion for client satisfaction and motivates me to achieve the best possible results for you.
Outside of work, I cherish spending quality time with my family, traveling with my wife Shannon, and visiting our two kids, Drew and Darian. I’m also an avid golfer, enjoy working out, biking, playing hockey, and love hunting with my loyal dog, Winnie. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell in Minnesota or Wisconsin, I would be thrilled to assist you. Please feel free to reach out—I’m here to help!
