She was President and Vice President, along with various other capacities, with a concentration on international business development and program management.  She owned and operated an international aerospace company for more than 10 years.

Marianne left corporate America to pursue a business coaching certification through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) and is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).  After the loss of her youngest son, Marianne chose to turn her tragedy into good for others.  She founded EricsHouse in 2017 to help those left behind sort through these devastating losses in order to integrate their grief so they may find joy and happiness again.  EricsHouse helps people rise, survive, and thrive even in the face of devastation.

Outside of her corporate life, she experienced a number of life transitions encompassing career, business, loss of a sibling, loss of a child, loss of parents, a divorce, a Down Syndrome son, a Down Syndrome sister.  

Greg is an aerospace mechanical engineer by training and has spent the majority of his career working in the aerospace industry and then as a business process improvement (BPI) consultant.  

After his youngest stepson Eric died, Greg struggled to express and deal with his grief – as many men do.  Long-held priorities seemed less significant, new values took precedence.

Greg and Eric’s Mom founded EricsHouse in 2017.  Since then, he has become a Grief Specialist, leads Men’s Groups and Retreats, and designed and built a variety of landscaping projects at EricsHouse.  He still works as a BPI consultant when the right projects come along.
