Eric Schmid

Partner, Financial Planning, Investment Management, Operations & Compliance

I have made a career of solving unique and difficult problems. Prior to working in personal financial services, I spent over 15 years in the medical device industry developing new products and directing engineering and development groups. I have a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College and studied graduate Chemical Engineering at University of California, San Diego.

At the end of 2011, I decided to make the move to the world of personal financial planning. I brought my engineering, technical and analytical skills, along with my knack for developing solutions to unique and complex problems, to my current role at Ted Buchan & Company.

I am a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), CTEC Registered Tax Preparer (CRTP), Accredited Investment Fiduciary designation (AIF®) and serve as Chief Compliance Officer (CCO).

I live in Sabre Springs with my wife and three children. I love sports, the outdoors and just being active. I played baseball in college and continue to play basketball and ice hockey locally. I spend much of my spare time coaching my children’s youth soccer and baseball teams and when we are not out on the fields, you can find us camping, backpacking or on a family road trip.
