Eric Loeffler
Project Manager/Visual Design Coordinator at Concord  General Contracting

Eric is a graduate from Arizona State University with a Design Management degree. I went to college with aspirations of being an architect and got a job with a local firm right after graduation. While working at the architectural firm, I was doing Construction Administration, and spent a lot of my time out in field. As I learned more about construction and furthered my career, I ended up making the change from the design side to the construction side. I am now a Project Manager/Visual Design Coordinator with Concord General Contracting, and I am loving every minute of it.
