Project Developer

A fixture of GDR's team since 1998, Eric is responsible for Project Development and Estimating to prepare the project to be ready for the department as he develops construction proposals. Eric gained his wellspring of construction knowledge by being personally immersed in it throughout his whole life.

Eric's earliest childhood memory of the carpentry trade was seeing his father hammering away on a rooftop. He then decided to pursue it on his own during his high school summer vacations. Eric worked in residential construction for over five years, shifted to commercial construction for seven years, and spent one year in cabinetry making. What an ideal candidate he was to build his own Cape Cod house 21 years ago! Eric spent some time working outside of the construction industry in production and warehouse positions at Hatfield Quality Meats and as a clerk in a feed mill store.

The things that Eric loves about working at GDR are the way the company values family life, the experience of working in a beautifully renovated barn, the tight knit relationship he has developed with co-workers, and the continual team effort that is brought to every project. Working closely in integrating green building into our client's homes, Eric's simple "green" philosophy is being good stewards of the resources we've been blessed with.

Eric graduated from Christopher Dock Mennonite High School, has been married for 25 years and has three boys ages. He is a member of Grace Mennonite Church, Lansdale, where he has served as a trustee. Eric beams like the sun whenever he talks about his active involvement in his sons' sporting activities because he recognizes how precious of a moment he is experiencing right now!
