With the support of Eric’s wife Jen, and 3 boys; Taylor, Zakrey & Karter, he continues to strive to build a stronger company and support the community’s efforts to provide a positive future. |
Eric has been in and around construction sites since the day he started walking. At a very young age he began building projects in his father’s garage with the use of basic hand tools. It was when his father, Jim, would take him to job sites that his unwavering passion for building and improving the standard began.
Eric is also a graduate of Culver High School. During his senior year of Building Trades, his instructor, Bob Trigg, invited him to work the next summer constructing an addition and remodeling a home due to his constant hard work and quality workmanship throughout the school year. He later turned his interest to post frame buildings and went to work for the same company where his father was a successful salesman. The following 2 years were spent learning the in and outs of constructing post frame buildings. Shortly after, Eric was running his own crew and worked another 5 years in the post frame building industry. He also spent a couple years with a local construction company honing his remodeling skills and paying attention to the advice and techniques of his elder co-workers.
