I had the pleasure of working with Eric very closely while he was a Health Care Manager, and also when he was promoted to Senior Vice President of Pharmacy. I never had to chase him down looking for new hire information, evaluation forms, terminations, or any other paperwork I might need. When Fred’s created the new position of Regional Vice President for Pharmacy, I had no doubt in my mind that Eric would be one of the top choices, given his track record. Eric is very organized and always careful to cross his t's and dot his i's. He always encouraged and supported his pharmacists as a Health Care Manager, and supported his Health Care Managers and pharmacists and pharmacies in his role as RVP. He pushes them to excel and helps them when they need it. He truly invests in the people he works with, always wanting to get the best results, the right way. Eric was a pleasure to work with and I learned a lot from him.

I have had the opportunity and the pleasure to work with Eric for several years now. He is an excellent pharmacist and leader within his community. His knowledge of healthcare and patient care is second to none. His mangment style, work ethic, positive attitude and interpersonal skills are only a few of his many attributes.
