Eric Kumar

The first half of my career was working in the healthcare industry. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Care Administration and a Master of Health Administration degree. Both degrees were earned from King's College, Wilkes Barre, PA. I'm also a licensed insurance agent and registered as an investment advisor representative with Brookstone Wealth Advisors. Aside from my healthcare skills transferring into financial advising, I listen to my clients without the hard selling.
