Eric brings a wealth of experience and expertise in corporate bankruptcy law to his leadership role at KCC based on his former career as a corporate restructuring attorney.

He co-founded KCC, a leading claims and noticing agent, to provide a higher standard of  administrative-support services and technology solutions to companies undergoing corporate restructuring.  In doing so, he fulfilled a previously unmet need within the restructuring industry for professional-level client service and innovative technology to manage the administrative challenges of corporate restructuring. 

As CEO, Eric oversees internal operations of the company, including the design and development of the company's proprietary, web-based technology and the management of the company's offices in Los Angeles, New York and Memphis, Tenn. He also spearheads the consulting group, ensuring a high level of client service during each engagement.  Through these endeavors, KCC receives national recognition for its innovative business model and industry leadership.  In recognition of his efforts, Eric was selected as 2008 Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® in the Services category in the Greater Los Angeles Area.

Before co-founding KCC, Eric was a bankruptcy attorney at Pachulski, Stang, Ziehl, Young & Jones P.C. in its Los Angeles office, representing Chapter 11 debtors, such as Breed Technologies, Sabratek Corporation and Sunbelt Nursery Group, Inc. Previously, he served as an attorney in the Los Angeles office of bankruptcy boutique Murphy, Weir & Butler P.C.

Based on his extensive knowledge of bankruptcy law, Eric is a contributing author of “First-Day Motions Manual: A Practical Guide to the Critical First Days of A Bankruptcy Case,” a reference that provides background on the various motions filed on the first day of a bankruptcy case.

Eric earned his Juris Doctor from the UCLA School of Law and his Master of Business Administration degree from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He graduated as departmental valedictorian from the University of California, Berkeley with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Economics and Japanese Politics.

Outside of his role at KCC, Eric is an active member of Vistage, a member organization of Chief Executives that work together to accelerate business and personal growth.
