As co-owner of Marquette Group, Eric turns his passionate “will do” attitude and commitment into measurable advertising results for marquee brands throughout North America.

He provides executive leadership of business development, account management, marketing and interactive solutions across all Marquette Group offices.

Before joining us in 2002, Eric spent eight years with the Reynolds & Reynolds Company, a leading provider of data and technology solutions for the automotive industry.
The best part of my job is: The passion and energy I get by working with talented employees and wonderful clients ensuring “success,” which can be defined in many ways but often is a result of growth. Personal or professional, within the family, or in our company or in those of our clients and partners, it is tremendously gratifying to realize achievement.
When I’m not doing this, I’m: With a very busy family: coaching or watching my son’s basketball and football; watching my two daughters at cheerleading competitions, volleyball or swim meets… or just lucky enough to travel or spend time on a golf course.
Little known fact: I can see myself living aboard a boat and sailing throughout the Caribbean and beyond.
