Eric Kilstrom is a leader, educator, and podcaster with heart. He developed the Young Guns program at VIP Mortgage to help create opportunities for "kids" to become loan officers without the pain of starting off with zero income. When he moved to Anthem in the early development years, he recognized the struggle of families and children battling cancer and other life-threatening illnesses and his nonprofit, We Care Anthem, was founded. His podcast, "Eric's Eye on Anthem" generously spotlights local entrepreneurs and community members, giving them an opportunity to promote their businesses. He does all this with absolute quiet humility and a belief that it is an honor to help others.
