Our Team
Eric Albertson, President & Chief Compliance Officer
Eric Albertson has dedicated 25 years to helping clients achieve their goals. Whether partnering with corporations as a management consultant or advising individuals, Eric employs a people-focused approach to understand each client’s unique needs and what it will take to reach their objectives.
Maybe this drive to help clients achieve their goals comes from his early days partnering with Oregon Public Employee’s Retirement System (OPERS) and California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) to drive efficiency into their operations. Maybe it comes from focus and persistence required to win offshore sailing races such as the Pacific Cup (San Francisco to Oahu) and Pacific Northwest Offshore. Either way, Eric brings the experience and knowledge to help you achieve your own personal financial goals.
Eric has made a life in Hood River, OR with his wife Alexe and two young daughters. They can often be found outdoors playing together on trail, river or mountain.
