OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM
Eric Story
OWNER | SALES | OPERATIONS
Originally from Auburn, AL, Eric had an extraordinary career path stretching across multiple industries & states throughout the country for over a decade before returning home to provide unique value to our community right here in East Alabama.
He realized early on that he had a gift for identifying, understanding & solving problems in ways that others couldn’t when he started his career at 19 years old as a Lean Manufacturing Consultant & began saving industrial companies millions of $$$ per year by reducing waste & improving their processes, in both Alabama & Texas.
At age 20, he was invited to be a guest teacher for a graduate class of industrial engineering students at Auburn University, where he discussed important leadership principles when leading process improvement events inside industrial organizations. At age 21, he was a guest speaker for a quarterly operational excellence forum meeting for the Senior VP’s of Continuous Improvement for global multibillion dollar companies about the impact Servant Leadership has on the growth of any person, the continuous improvement of any organization & the bottom line for any company that applies it.
At 25 years old, he moved out to the west coast in search of more knowledge & experience. There he found the oldest & largest window & door manufacturer in the country, which also happened to value process improvement & servant leadership in the same way he did. He worked with their full-service replacement division for five years, helped them start a new Reno/Lake Tahoe office in 2021 and learned all the best principles & practices the industry has to offer from a product design, project management, customer service & overall operations perspective.
After he had gained all the knowledge & experience he needed, it was time to come back home, be closer to family and start his own full-service home improvement company where one was desperately needed. So, in 2022 he moved back to Auburn and began researching & planning how to create something that’s never existed here before in order to provide unique value to the people & community that raised him.
Slowly but surely, the pieces fell into place one-by-one, and 2023 he launched East Alabama Full Service Home Improvement Co., and as they say, “The rest is history!”.
