Dr. Eric Recker

Dr. Eric Recker is a dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author, pilot, mountain climber, and recovering triathlete.

For most of his dental career, he was convinced that the burnout he was feeling was just what happens to dentists and business owners and it led him to nearly sell his practice and walk away from dentistry.

In his second half of life, he is committed to helping people shorten the distance to becoming their best version and learning to #WINtheNOW through one-on-one and group coaching.
