Eric started his career working for the U.S. Navy’s nuclear energy department building training programs for battle-time field repairs of critical systems on submarines and carrier ships. He also worked with Westinghouse on critical Fukushima Nuclear Plant Safety Systems to upgrade the fleets during melt-downs after lessons learned from Japan. Later, Eric founded Contensol and aims to change the valve and hardware industry with his inventions and patents. His valve patent revolutionizes valves for slurry applications and elastomer valve automation. Eric’s contributions to Powder metallurgy with process patents completely rethink the way fasteners are used and how they function.
Fun fact: Eric has obtained five U.S. patents and founded three industrial manufacturing companies in just 5 short years.
