About Eric T. Whitmoyer
Early Successes
Eric began like many high school student-athletes who didn't go right to college, working odd jobs and getting a degree in Life, from the School of Hard knocks. Janitor, Bartender, Waiter, retail clerk and he usually ended up working 2 or 3 jobs at a time, he even served 9 years of Reserve duty in the Army. Here he found some initial success graduating top of his class, receiving 2 Army Achievement Medals, and achieving rapid advancement.
His drive, ambition, passion and persistence led him to find success in entry-level leadership roles and eventually led to starting his first few businesses, a part owner in a martial arts school and a distribution business. Eric managed to build these businesses while he achieved National Kickboxing Champion Title in 94' and 95' in the Lightheavy Weight Division.
College and Early Career
After running those businesses, Eric decided it was time to go back to school and get his degree. At the age of 24, he moved to Flagstaff to attend NAU. However, he quickly realized that living on student loans was not terribly financially rewarding, so he started a business, another distribution company and then a merchandising business.
After a few years, his plans of becoming an Accountant seemed to be less appealing as he looked at his career options. As it turned out, an internship and a need for additional money led to a job in the wireless industry. The early years of that industry were wide open with options and he quickly found himself earning well over $100K annually.
After just 2 years of learning the business and perfecting his sales tactics, he quickly rose into leadership roles and helped his second company grow from 38 stores to 169 in just over 4 years. Starting from nothing in Seattle, he built that market to 28 stores, then he realigned and doubled sales in California. Finishing his tenure by building both the Phoenix and Salt Lake Markets while eventually taking on the Vegas Market.
Becoming Presidential & Executive level leadership
After an overly aggressive launch of his own brand of 9 wireless locations leading up to the 2008 economic turndown played out, Eric was forced to shut down operations after a few years. That turned out to be a fortunate turn of events as that led to his most successful 12 year run of his career!
After helping Express Locations build to approximately 60 stores, where Eric found much success in leading his sales teams to outperform expectations. This success earned Eric the opportunity to achieve the role of Executive Director of Sales. At that time, Eric's teams went on to achieve sales results unequalled by any team for over 2 years.
Eric's ability to develop key leaders was vital to the long term success of Express, having successfully managed 17 of the 26 market directors throughout his tenure, Express grew to sales of $100 million annually. This led to a successful exit and Express sold for a high multiple. This transition, after over 20 years in wireless, left Eric considering new opportunities.
