About Executive Fine Finish

About

Welcome to Executive Fine Finish, where the mission is to save you time and money on your kitchen cabinet upkeep. This journey is deeply rooted in a commitment to hard work, continuous self-improvement, and delivering top-notch results. The founder, Eric Unglaub, grew up as a missionary kid in West Africa, an experience that instilled the value of hard work and the belief that true growth comes from overcoming challenges. This upbringing has profoundly shaped his approach to life and business, teaching him the importance of resilience and the power of perseverance.

Educational Foundation

Eric brings a strong academic background to his work, with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Hawaii Pacific University and a Master of Business Administration in Sustainability from Marylhurst University. These credentials provide a solid foundation in business principles and sustainable practices, integral to his approach.

Professional Journey

The professional journey includes diverse roles that have shaped Eric's expertise. As a Residential Solar Consultant at Sunrun, he designed solar energy solutions that helped hundreds of families reduce their power bills and carbon footprints. His experience at Enterprise Rent-A-Car honed his marketing, sales, and management skills, leading to numerous sales awards and high customer satisfaction.

Story of Growth

The painting career began at the ground level, working for various painting companies as a cleaner and prep worker. Through years of apprenticing under skilled painters and mastering the basics, Eric gradually developed his expertise. Realizing the need for a broader range of skills, he started Executive Fine Finish. Committing to this journey has been incredibly rewarding, and now, with about nine years of painting experience, Eric focuses exclusively on kitchen cabinet refinishing, trim, and door fine refinish work using premium Italian coatings.

Philosophy and Inspirations

Eric is deeply inspired by the teachings of Robert Greene in his book Mastery and Seth Godin’s The Practice. These works emphasize the importance of dedication, continuous learning, and the pursuit of excellence. From Mastery, he has learned that "The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways." Seth Godin's The Practice teaches, "The practice is not the means to the output; the practice is the output because the practice is all we can control."

James Clear’s Atomic Habits has taught Eric the power of small, consistent actions: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect emphasizes the impact of daily decisions: "Small, smart choices + consistency + time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE." These principles guide him in his work, highlighting the importance of perseverance, incremental improvement, and the accumulation of small gains over time.

Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Practices

Eric's passion for sustainable and eco-friendly refinishing processes is a cornerstone of Executive Fine Finish. His master's degree in sustainability has shaped his views on operating a cleaner, less wasteful company. This commitment is reflected in how waste and toxins are disposed of at appropriate facilities and the use of zero VOC coatings that do not off-gas. Eric optimizes all processes to save resources, time, and money, passing these benefits on to clients.
