Meet your Team
Who is Eric?
My name is Eric Manzanarez and I hold the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® (AIF®) designation.
Growing up in Great Falls, Montana, I attended the University of Montana on a football scholarship and was fortunate enough to be part of their 1995 National Championship team. I finished with a degree in Psychology, yet my greatest achievement may have been meeting Jocelyn, my wife. We live in Maple Valley, WA and have been blessed with two daughters, Maci and Natia. I began my financial career in 2009 with Shelgren Financial Group.
Who is Noah?
I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, but I have spent most of my life here in Seattle. After moving, I quickly found my passion for soccer, joining a club team in fifth grade. The competitive atmosphere taught me some of the most important lessons that still guide how I see the world today. After suffering an injury in high school, I stopped playing and knew it was time to focus my attention on my future career. One of my most significant accomplishments was graduating from Seattle University with a bachelor's degree in finance at 19 years old. I live in downtown Seattle and enjoy the city life.
Who is Katie?
Hi, I’m Katie! I was born in Havre, MT and moved to Dayton, NV (outside of Reno) at a young age. Growing up, I enjoyed bothering my older brother, and playing all the sports! When college came around, I decided to stick close to home and attend the University of Nevada Reno. I obtained my Bachelors degree in Human Development and Family Studies.
Right after my undergrad, I decided to pack my bags, hit the road, and ended up in Missoula, MT for a year. This was a wonderful year of adventure, making new connections, and soaking up the beautiful Big Sky. After my year there, I was ready for warmth and I now live in sunny San Diego as I work on my Masters degree to becoming a personal therapist.
Who is Kona?
I am a pure-bred Golden Retriever born June 16th, 2015. I feel so luckily to live in a house with two girls who love to cuddle me. While I get pretty excited when the UPS guy shows up, you should know my bark is bigger than my bite. Once I make sure my family is safe, I warm up pretty quickly.
