He uses this insight to find ways to best apply the tax code and design a customized tax strategy to save as much as is legally allowable under the current tax code.
Born in Northern California, Eric is an avid gamer at heart and a natural problem solver. He enjoys spending time with his family and working alongside his wife and business partner, Melissa.
