Eric, 28, was born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and came to Texas for treatment and a fresh start after years of struggling with addiction and alcoholism that began in his teens. What started as a search for relief slowly cost him relationships, stability, and trust in himself, a cycle that felt harder to break the longer it went on.

The turning point came through his own recovery, and it’s how Eric found his way to Patton Sober Living in the first place. He committed to the work: the 12 Steps, being of service, and doing the next right thing even when it was hard. That personal experience is now at the center of how he helps other men build a life in sobriety.

Before joining Patton House, Eric spent three and a half years in commercial insurance sales, focused on new business production and client management. It was work built on relationships and follow-through — and he brings that same reliability to the house every day.

Outside the house, Eric stays grounded through faith, fitness, family, and service to others. He leads with love and tolerance, meeting each man exactly where he is. Residents and their families can count on him as a steady, positive presence — someone who takes his role seriously and helps residents build the life skills that come with being an adult in recovery.
