    Eric started his career at Prudential-Bache in 1985 and founded King Financial Services in 1990.

    Eric is a graduate of the University of Akron, where he studied accounting, economics, and marketing. While attending college, he was president of the karate club, where he earned his second-degree black belt. Eric holds his FINRA Series 7, 24, 51, 63, and 66 securities registrations through Commonwealth Financial Network, as well as state insurance licenses for life, accident, and health insurance. Eric became a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM professional in 1990 and loves helping families plan for their future.

    Eric has three daughters from his first marriage: Rachel, Hannah, and Erica. Hannah became a partner of the firm in 2020. He also has a son, Forrest, and a daughter, Whitney, with his wife, Lark. Together, they share six grandchildren.

    When Eric is not working, he likes to spend time with his family and friends. He collects antique tools, many of which he has restored himself. You are more likely to find him watching the Discovery Channel or History Channel than ESPN.
