A native Floridian who later transitioned to the fast-paced landscape of New York City, Eric brings a distinctly broad perspective to the team.
His professional background spans the distinct worlds of hospitality, political consulting, and artist management, equipping him with an exceptional understanding of service, communication, and relationship-driven environments.
Eric is deeply focused on the future of the coworking and flex workspace market, an industry he believes has yet to realize its full potential. In his view, the market's ultimate winners will be the operators who look past traditional office management to design aspirational, memorable experiences, building environments that people actively want to be a part of.
Outside of work, Eric is an avid college football fan and a dedicated Broadway attendee. He also channels his creative side as a non-professional graphic artist and spends his evenings exploring the architectural and cultural diversity of New York City, one block at a time.
