Meet Eric
Marion, VA was certainly no booming metropolis, but it set the stage of life for me as a young boy. I learned about hard work, the value of a dollar, and how to save what I earned. At age 12, I started working for my parent’s business. When I was 16, I started working at the local music store and country radio station. That was a big year for me, as I also started my own mobile DJ and sound service business. The entrepreneurial spirit was in my blood.
After graduating high school, my college dream took me to Nashville, TN. During my first week at Belmont University, I got a part-time job at the Ryman Auditorium to make money and to start making connections toward my dreams. That was the first of many jobs I had throughout college.
After graduating in 2000, I proudly accepted my first salaried job in the music industry. While I enjoyed my job (especially since I was driving to historic Music Row every day), I was only there a year before leaving to work as a freelance contractor in the music industry.
A year later, I had more than doubled my salary and was onto the next chapter of my career in the music industry. It was very competitive. The harder I worked, the more doors closed. However, each year seemed to prove more successful than the year before. I found myself making a substantial income, but I was spending quite a bit of money in the process.
At age 32, through some difficult life circumstances, I lost almost everything I had. Though I had never stopped working hard, it was time to get serious, start over, and rebuild my life. Five years later by God’s grace, I was happier, more content, and more financially stable than I had ever been.
In 2014, after 16 years of a successful touring career, I accepted a position with Compassion International. Shortly after, I married my longtime friend, Emily. I’m honored to be an adjunct professor at Belmont University and am passionate about music. I enjoy woodworking and love playing racquetball in my free time. Being a Ramsey Preferred Coach allows me to use my gifts and knowledge to encourage others to hope, plan, and dream toward financial success. I look forward to working with you soon!
