Eric brings a unique inspiration for design and a zeal for facilitating premium service at Green Lake, where he’s been periodically collaborating on a diverse range of creative projects since 2006. Having worked tirelessly alongside fellow jewelers and colleagues to build-out the beautiful wood, glass, and stone interiors in which our workshop now operates (and subsequently cutting and hammering his unskilled fingers more than he’d like to admit), Eric has literally put his blood, sweat, and tears into the place. And yet, it remains a place that suits his down-to-earth sensibilities, excitement for innovation, and commitment to good ‘ol hospitality.
Eric is a graduate of Oregon State University’s College of Communication, an MBA graduate student at Switzerland’s Glion Institute of Higher Education, and has served as a faculty member at the Les Roches International Hotel Management College’s branch campus at Shanghai Normal University—where he lectured on marketing within the hospitality and services industry. With a considerable background of business development, he really understands the importance of caring for people.
From local Seattle restaurant start-ups to international event management throughout new markets like China, he has run the gamut of not only selling a first-class experience, but also delivering on it. And with a recent full-time return to Green Lake, Eric is excited to extend the care and attention we provide local customers to the growing community of online clients spread across the world.
At heart, however, Eric is really an artist. His work is fun, curious, and at times quite touching. It’s hidden on the floors of our workshop and showroom, on the walls of our webpage, and upon the ring-fingers of a few clients and friends. But whereas our company is comprised mostly of metalsmiths, Eric is ultimately our wordsmith; communicating all the happenings and great capabilities of Green Lake for all to know!
