Eric Thomas

Associate Wealth Advisor

Eric Thomas is driven by a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those he serves. That guiding principle shaped nearly a decade of service in the United States Marine Corps, where Eric participated in multiple deployments across the Indo-Pacific region, including Australia, Japan, and Korea.

After separating from the military in 2023, Eric carried that same sense of purpose into the next chapter of his career. He made a deliberate pivot from a successful background in IT and cybersecurity to pursue financial planning. Eric relocated to Texas to earn his degree in Financial Planning from Texas Tech University. He graduated summa cum laude in 2025.

Originally from Virginia Beach, Virginia, Eric returned to his home state to launch his career at Heritage Financial. He is passionate about helping clients make confident, informed decisions and improving the lives of the families and communities he serves.

Outside the office, Eric values an active lifestyle and prioritizes fitness and overall health. He enjoys spending time outdoors but is just as happy settling in on a Sunday to cheer on the Washington Commanders. A firm believer in the philosophy “work hard, rest hard,” Eric approaches both his professional and personal life with discipline, balance, and intention.
