Eric Vohwinkel
Principal
Eric's 32 year tenor in the Kitchen & Bath Industry started in Charlotte, NC with cabinetry installation. That opportunity afforded him the basic knowledge needed to move into builder services and then a design/sales role with a local kitchen & bath dealer.
In 1992, he found himself in a territory sales role with a premier cabinetry manufacturer covering NC and SC. This position moved from home center sales to dealer sales in 1996.
With territory growth success under his belt and a young family in tow, they relocated to Wilmington, NC in 2000. Then, took up residence and went to work for a leading kitchen dealer in the area as the Showroom Sales Manager. That role led to a Director of Sales as we expanded into multiple markets.
Post the great recession, he found himself back in territory sales and then into a Regional Sales Manager role with Norcraft Companies/Masterbrand Cabinets Inc.
In May 2019, he hung up his corporate cleats to join Cabinet Navigators and get back into the trenches with dealers/distributors representing the Norcraft/Masterbrand products. This is where he believes he does his best work.
He and his wife, Lisa, enjoy spending time with their adult children in the Wilmington area. This time includes days on the beach, boating, and some inshore fishing. Dovetailing in with some yard work, gardening, and building the business …. it’s a well-rounded, full schedule.
