If you wrote out Eric Wirks’s life on paper, statistically, his success, and where he’s at in life today should not be possible. He’s overcome unimaginable odds, and some of the hardest trials, tribulations, and low spots life could throw at someone. From poverty, childhood trauma, drug addiction, homelessness, prison, and PTSD. Today he’s a loving husband, father, and son. A respected pillar in his community, and the industries he owns companies in. He is an active contributor to his favorite charities. An annual donor of tens of thousands of dollars in college scholarships at his former high school, and is very generous with his time. Especially when it comes to helping entrepreneurs.  If you ask Eric, he summarizes the success of his life and all that his life touches by living by three core values and principles: extreme ownership, integrity, and altruism.

Eric Wirks is the founder of Wirks Moving and Storage, an eight-figure moving and storage company, and one of the largest in the state of Georgia where he has achieved every entrepreneur's dream as a 100% hands-off owner, serving as Chairman of the board, working directly with his CEO and leadership team. Eric is also a serial entrepreneur who owns, invests, or has partnered with other companies in the transportation, real estate, financial, and SaaS industries. Recently, in the summer of 2023, Eric received an amazing opportunity from a longtime friend, former co-worker, and founder of USA Home Listings, Greg Sheppard, to become a hands-on partner and co-owner of USA Home Listings. As recently as December 2023 Eric was offered, and encouraged by Greg to take over the role of CEO of USA Home Listings which he accepted with great enthusiasm, appreciation, and honor. USA Home Listing is arguably the best data, direct mail, digital marketing, and direct outreach platform available in the moving and storage industry. It has been a huge contributor to changing the financial lives of many moving companies, and their owners by providing one of the best marketing tools and marketing services in the moving industry.

Eric is also very widely known for being one of two co-founding members of Moving Company Owners Unite. A moving industry owners networking Facebook group founded in 2017 when there was nothing like it in existence at the time, but a dire need for a platform for moving industry owners from across the country to come together, share best practices, and just help each other. Almost seven years later it has turned into the largest, most respected, and valuable moving industry owners group with thousands of heavily vetted moving company owner members online today. Some of the best friendships, business relationships, company success stories, and mastermind groups have been created as a result of this group. You could even say this group is the catalyst to the roots of Moving Titan Retreats. A branch off of the OG Moving Titans Mastermind group that still communicates regularly and gets together to this day.

Empathy, confidence, social networker, desire to win, communicator, pragmatic, high energy, problem solver, realist and trustworthy are the ingredients of my make up. My empathy, coupled with my intense ego drive, enables me to hone in on the target effectively and make the sale. I have the drive, the need to make the sale, and my empathy gives me the connecting tool with which to do it. Regan Weiss is a fractional CMO for multiple companies throughout the United States.
