College Counseling

Eric is a dedicated college coach with a passion for helping high school students and their families navigate the complex and often overwhelming college admissions process. With over a decade of experience coaching students worldwide, Eric has developed a keen understanding of the importance of finding the perfect-fit college for each student and their family.


Using a personalized and strategic approach, Eric tailors each student's college search to their unique goals, passions, and priorities. Whether it's a STEM student or a Film student, Eric's extensive experience enables him to cater to all kinds of students with varied interests and goals. His primary goal is to reduce the anxiety and stress inherent to the college admissions process by providing a trusted resource that gives students and their families a sense of relief. Eric believes in empowering his students to reach their goals and aspirations, focusing on attitude, hard work, perseverance, and breaking down daunting tasks into manageable pieces.


Understanding that students need to want to learn in order to succeed, Eric works tirelessly to create a relationship-based and enjoyable learning environment. As a Senior College Coach with a long track record of helping all types of students, from the highest-achieving valedictorians to the initially unmotivated, Eric simply gets results.


When he's not mentoring students, Eric loves spending time with his wife Gabi, their two boys, Evan and Elliott, and any foster children they are blessed with in their home. Despite the heartbreak, he enjoys cheering on his beloved Chargers and getting on the golf course as much as possible.
