Accounting & Administration

Contact Eric

Eric started at Synertech as a part time administrative support person back in 1994. During that time, Eric received a crash course introduction into the world of environmental consulting, becoming familiar with the most common terms and issues surrounding asbestos and lead based paint. Eric was excited for the chance to eventually become a full time Synertech employee, and over the course of the next several years his role developed into an overall administrative manager position. He began taking on more responsibility by working directly with all of the client base by generating all invoices and assembling final reports, gradually assuming an active role in the day to day financial, regulatory licensing, and human resource activity.

While Eric’s main role was always administrative, he does have some field experience. For several years he was Synertech’s Project Manager on the extensive lead in drinking water sampling project for the School District of Philadelphia. This was a hands on, in the field, assignment. He also acted as the liaison between the environmental consultants and city regulatory agencies during the culmination of the initial project.

Eric is grateful to have had the chance to partner with his long-time colleagues and come together to purchase the company from the retiring owner, becoming one of the four Managing Partners. He not only has a deep respect for each of his partners, he considers them friends. They share the same vision, which is to continue and expand the thirty plus years of Synertech providing the Philadelphia Area with exemplary environmental consulting and testing services.

On a personal side, Eric has been an advocate for animal welfare for many years, volunteering with many different non-profit dog rescue organizations. He was instrumental in starting two non-profit rescue organizations, one of which is still active, rescuing blind and visually impaired dogs nationwide. Since 2013 he has led a vegan lifestyle further expanding his animal advocacy. Eric’s stress release of choice is running. He has successfully completed fourteen half marathons and the 2015 full Philadelphia Marathon. Eric currently lives in Delaware County, PA with his wife, four blind dogs, and revolving door of senior foster dogs.
