MEET OUR CO-FOUNDER & CSO
​
Gabriel Ericson is a co-founder of Pinnacle Life Group and serves as the Chief Operating Officer.
​
Before being named the COO in early 2024, Gabe was a top producer, traveled around the country recruiting and training agents, and has personally mentored hundreds of agents to be both top producers and agency builders.
​
Before Pinnacle, Gabe co-founded an insurance agency that grew to over a million a month in sales after one year of operation and led multiple sales teams for almost ten years across numerous direct sales industries.
​
Gabe’s initial career path was in ministry in which he led an inner-city Chicago youth ministry for 8 years before he traveled to West Africa to work as a missionary. Upon the completion of his Masters degree he felt his calling lay in business as a way to fund ministry around the world. At this present day he has founded 4 orphanages and is working on his fifth with a goal to start 100 around the world.
​
Gabe finds financial services to be the perfect combination between his passion for providing his clients with truly life-changing products and services, and his love for helping sales-agents grow past their limiting beliefs and achieve dreams they previous believed unattainable.
​
Gabe credits everything he has achieved in life to Jesus Christ and his mother's personal sacrifice.
