Who is Eric Porteous?

I’m a very passionate person trying to live my dreams one day at a time. I believe when we chase and achieve our dreams the world becomes a better place.

Originally born in New Jersey, I moved to Arizona when I was only 6 years old. I grew up in the desert, and, believe it or not, I love it. I attended Arizona State University and graduated with a degree in Communication.

I have always had a passion for helping people of all ages. When I was in 8^th grade, I volunteered as an umpire for the local Little League, and at the age of 19, began a 6-year journey as a head coach. I have volunteered with non-profits that work with teenagers, young adults, and kids who have been orphaned. I also like to offer guidance to adults with their finances.

I live with my beautiful wife Alissa and our sons Kellen and Nolan in Gilbert, Arizona. I enjoy writing, public speaking, sports, and working out. In my free time, you can find me on the softball field or training for my next marathon.

Through all this and more, I have had some extraordinary experiences, and that’s the way I like it. I’m an ordinary guy who wants to live an extraordinary life.

Relieve the underlying stress in your life

Many people don’t realize the underlying stress in their life is caused by financial troubles. Perhaps that’s you. Or perhaps it’s someone you know. I’ve been there. I’ve felt it. Thankfully, I’m not there anymore. 

And I want to help. 

As a certified financial coach (by Dave Ramsey’s team), I teach people how to take back control of their finances so they can have peace of mind and a better future.  

If you’re looking to get out of debt, build some savings, or need help setting up your budget, schedule an appointment today (online or in-person), and I’ll help guide you on that path toward peace.
