Eric Rice, Co-Founder, Chairman BFC Ventures LLC

Eric Rice, originally from a town just outside Chicago in Indiana, is the founder and CEO of a couple large corporations in Southern California. He is married and just had his first child, Nolan on June 5th of 2009. In addition to his degree from Indiana University, Rice has held over 12 professional licenses ranging from securitiesto real estate. Eric has been in the financial services sector for more than nine years and has built multiple successful businesses in the fields of financial planning,mortgages, real estate and insurance and consulting. He began his professional career as a planner and trader in Chicago and has since relocated to California where he has experienced fantastic success in real estate and mortgages, and now as the figurehead of one of the fastest growing companies on the west coast, BFC Ventures LLC.
An idea man by nature, Eric’s success is defined by his relentless work ethic and ability to share his vision with his partners, employees, and the public. Never satisfied, no matter the level of his success, Eric drives and motivates his team to constantly improve, and spawns countless ideas and strategies on a daily basis, which he filters through his partners before implementation.
Eric is not only BFC Ventures driving force behind the scenes; he is also the face of the company in the eyes of the public. He has been wildly effective in branding
himself through numerous media avenues including radio (has hosted two shows, weekly guest on two others), television (has hosted one show, weekly guest on channel 6 news, numerous guest appearances on other shows), and the web (huge presence on a variety of social media outlets, and internet video platforms). As the visionary and public presence for the firm, Eric has taken BFC Ventures to impressive levels, but everyone who has met Eric knows that he will never be satisfied.
Eric thirsts for success and is driven by the ability to either succeed or help someone succeed. With this in mind, after closing his last company he started to focus on what he is really good at and where he belongs in life. So, he is now training and investing with young entrepreneurs and businessmen all around the globe. “The thoughts that come out of his head are mind blowing sometimes, not because of their content, but because he knows he will work hard enough to make the thought a reality.” says his partner Adam Blejski, “I have never seen anything like it, he has a gift to find revenue streams for businesses that no one would have ever known were there”. With that being said, Mr. Rice is now playing the free agent market and not settling done to one company. He is a highly sought after consultant that will not take the work if it is long in nature. He is focused on his own projects and the 10-15 new ones he sees every week from investors and inventors.
