About Me
Hi, I’m Eric Pater, a Certified Life Mapping and Veteran Development Coach dedicated to helping veterans, their families, and recent graduates find fulfilling careers and rediscover their purpose. My mission is to guide you to a life that aligns with your passions and strengths.
As a retired Army veteran with 20+ years of service and 12 years as a corporate manager, I’ve navigated the transition from military to civilian life. I’ve faced deployments, combat, divorce, loss, anxiety, depression, and PTSD – and emerged stronger, finding my own purpose through resilience and growth. My coaching certification focuses on supporting service members, veterans, and their families. I’m well-versed in VA mental health and career programs and work seamlessly with clients seeing counselors or therapists.
My leadership has always centered on mentoring. In the Army and corporate world, people joined my teams for my fair, supportive approach, and I celebrated their successes, even when it meant losing talent to promotions. After I endured unfulfilling jobs post-service, I discovered my calling: helping others find their path faster.
My coaching is personal and empowering. We’ll build a connection to understand your goals and challenges. Using positive psychology tools like mindfulness and journaling, you’ll gain clarity on what matters most. Personality assessments will identify your strengths, and we’ll map a plan to achieve your goals—whether a rewarding career or renewed purpose. You’ll celebrate wins that build momentum.
Many veterans struggle to find their “Purpose After Service,” as transition programs often focus only on job placement. Recent graduates also face limited career guidance. I’ve been there and can help you move beyond these gaps to a future that excites you.
If you’re ready for a brighter path, I’d be honored to be your coach. Let’s map your journey to success!

Ive had the honor of knowing Eric for the past two years. In that time, Ive seen firsthand the heart, wisdom, and integrity he brings to everything he does. He has displayed the rare gift of listening deeply, leading with compassion, and creating a safe space where real growth can happen. What's been especially inspiring is watching Eric grow into his role as a coach. I've personally observed his sessions and witnessed his ability to connect with people on a deep level. He understands how to ask the right questions and provide guidance for meaningful breakthroughs. His growth has been intentional, consistent, and rooted in a genuine desire to serve others. Eric doesnt just talk about transformation....he lives it. His ability to guide others through challenges, shift perspectives, and inspire meaningful change is a reflection of his own personal journey and commitment to growth. Hes the kind of coach who doesnt just give answers, he helps you discover your own. If youre looking for a coach who is grounded, genuine, and truly invested in your success, Eric is that person. I wholeheartedly support him as he steps into this next chapter, and I know hes going to make a powerful impact on everyone fortunate enough to work with him.

Eric's coaching expertise has been a transformative force in both my personal and professional life. I came to Eric seeking real, actionable change. With a clear, goal-oriented approach, he helped me identify exactly what needed to shift, crafted a practical roadmap, and instilled in me the confidence to pursue it in spite of the obstacles. Eric is empathetic, an active listener, and provides unwavering encouragement. He creates a supportive environment where I feel excited about the future and my goals, rather than feel hopeless and incapable of change. Thanks to Eric's guidance, my mindset about the future has completely evolved. I am now confidently making a career shift I never would have dared to dream of before.
