Eric Hollifield

Private Security Expert

Eric Hollifield’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience, discipline, and lifelong learning. Born and raised in Marion, North Carolina, Eric’s early years were shaped by a deep appreciation for hard work, community, and the transformative potential of sports. A standout athlete in high school, he excelled in baseball and football, laying the groundwork for a future defined by excellence.

At Appalachian State University, Eric distinguished himself as both a scholar and an athlete. As a collegiate powerlifter, he set records that remain benchmarks in the sport, including the North Carolina State Bench Press Record. His leadership extended beyond athletics when he joined the Appalachian State Athletic Foundation Board, where he served for six years, including terms as President and President Emeritus.

Later in life, Eric embraced competitive cycling, achieving victories such as the State of Georgia Individual Time Trial Championship and triumphing in the Assault on Mt. Mitchell—a race known for its punishing terrain. These accomplishments reflect his unwavering determination and ability to adapt to new challenges.

Today, Eric channels his diverse experiences into the realm of private security, offering insights rooted in decades of hands-on expertise. His approach combines strategic thinking, ethical principles, and a commitment to protecting what matters most. Above all, Eric remains devoted to his family—his wife Jennifer, son Nicholas, and daughter Lauren—who inspire him daily to lead with integrity and purpose.
