An industry veteran with a long runway remaining, Eric’s career began as a college intern with Merrill Lynch in Akron, Ohio, and it was there that Eric witnessed firsthand the market sell-off of October 19th, 1987.

“Black Monday” was an event that would shape Eric’s career, with the realization that preparation and process are paramount over panic. In the decades to follow, this philosophy has allowed Eric to combine his process-oriented approach with a passion for helping others, collaborating side by side on his clients’ long-term goals.

A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Eric attended Kent State University where he graduated cum laude with a degree in Finance. After some time with Merrill Lynch in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he met his wife, Diane, they moved back to Ohio where they settled in Miami Township and still live with their three children. After 18 years at PNC Investments, Eric moved his practice to Wells Fargo in 2012.

A great day for Eric would include an early morning workout, followed by a round of golf at the Oasis Country Club, ending with an evening in the kitchen preparing dinner with his family. Always an avid traveler, one of Eric’s most memorable trips came in September of 2001 when his flight was diverted to Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada while returning home from Europe on 9/11.

Adept at navigating turbulent financial times, Eric recently took it a step further and decided to take a discovery flight at his local airport. He was hooked and is in the process of obtaining his private pilot’s license, excited to see where that journey leads.

As members of Polaris Wealth Management Group of Wells Fargo Advisors, Eric and his colleagues are honored to have been named to the Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams* list for 2025 and 2026.

Gabe joins our team after spending seven years with Merrill Lynch, where he began his career in operations before progressing into wealth management and finding early success working with families and business owners. In January he transitioned to Wells Fargo Advisors, bringing with him a well‑rounded background across both operational and advisory roles that continues to shape his approach with clients today.

A Northern Kentucky native and graduate of Northern Kentucky University, Gabe grew up as one of nine siblings and has always valued strong family connections. Alongside his professional career, he served six years in the military, including a deployment in 2021. His time in service strengthened his discipline, resilience, and commitment to others-attributes clients consistently recognize in his work.

Growing up, Gabe watched his parents make meaningful sacrifices to create opportunities for their children, an experience that influenced his perspective on responsibility, stewardship, and long‑term planning. He views his role as a financial advisor as a way to honor those sacrifices by helping others build security, opportunity, and confidence for their own families. That foundation continues to guide how he serves clients today.

Gabe remains active in the community and enjoys coaching youth football and supporting organizations such as The Barracks Project, which provides housing, essentials, and resources to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life, as well as the Cincinnati Rotary. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his fiancée, golfing, and staying active.
