Eric Lu

Nash Middle School & Campbell high School in Smyrna, GA & Emory University Graduate.  Atlanta native since 1985.  I am passionate about making significant choices to help others as I was once in the receiving end at two refugee camps in Malaysia and the Philippines at the age of 6 for approximately 18 months.  Hence, I have a very strong desire to assist/motivate/impress others to make the right choices and to become successful/fulfilled/full so that they may be in the position to serve and give back without reservation!   As a State Farm Agent, a small business owner since December 2004, I continue to find my duties as an agent very rewarding daily.  Each day, my licensed team members and I help our customers with selecting insurance choices/needs in effort to protect them from the unexpected or unforeseen circumstances.  Additionally, we always impress upon them to budget, plan, and save for future financial goals in order to help with realizing their dreams.  I believe in giving back and I have served in various roles in the Metro Atlanta area.  On the personal nature, I also enjoy grilling/smoking meats for my team members for lunch weekly.  I enjoy traveling/volunteering locally and around the world.  Finally, I also firmly believe it is important to help my team members focus on personal and financial developments.
