Eric Hallin
After 20 years working in the financial industry, Eric decided he no longer wanted to be just another number on a spreadsheet and Oak & Vine Wealth Management was born. A far cry from the huge firms that only see dollar signs, Eric strives to offer the personal boutique service of a small fiduciary while still maintaining the experience and technology of a large firm for his clients. With two decades under his belt, Eric has built long-lasting friendships with his clients and has successfully managed over $100 million in assets on their behalf.
Eric was born and raised on the Central Coast of California where he still resides with his wife, Amanda, and their two children. Together, they have surrounded themselves with a vibrant community that they are passionate about giving back to. While Amanda works for the school their children attend, Eric serves as the secretary on the board of directors for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Mid-Central Coast. In his free time, Eric enjoys coaching youth sports, golfing, tinkering with computers, and reading.
