Owner & CEO

Eric founded the travel industry's leading website, bedandbreakfast.com, in 1995, when he saw how the internet could make it easier for travelers to find and stay in unique bed and breakfasts, boutique hotels and inns, while also helping these properties become more visible through the power of online shopping. He sold it to Homeaway in 2010, now a Vrbo/Expedia company. Eric also went on to co-found Turnkey Vacation Rentals in 2012 and sold it to Vacasa in 2021. He has owned a 20-room inn for 10 years and personally has two short term/vacation rentals.

In 2019, Eric became owner and CEO of bnbfinder, the book direct marketplace without the fees for professionally-managed vacation rentals and unique stays. He and his team of industry veterans are on a mission to:
- Make travel more affordable again, saving guests an average of 20% in booking fees
- Empower professional property managers to increase their profits
- Put the hospitality back into the vacation rental market
