Eric has spent 25 years in education, inspired early on by teachers and counselors who encouraged him to succeed. After teaching for many years, including a move from New Jersey to California, he transitioned into administration and now leads secondary educational programs. He says the most rewarding part of his career is being part of students’ journeys and supporting their growth.
Although Eric had seen SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union present to educators for years, he didn’t become a member until 2017. Once he did, he quickly realized the value of the credit union. When he needed to consolidate debt, SchoolsFirst FCU made the process simple and seamless, transferring everything efficiently and helping him create an easy path to pay it off.
Today, Eric appreciates that SchoolsFirst FCU truly understands educators. He and his husband, Robert, are both members and value the convenience of managing finances together. Eric enjoys logging into online banking and seeing opportunities tailored to him, even when he isn’t actively looking.
“I feel recognized and valued,” Eric says. “Being a member means being part of a community that supports educators at every stage.”
