Eric Alitalo graduated from Fitchburg State University and went on to teach at Natick High School and Nashoba Regional in Bolton, MA. During the summer he worked in construction, which led him to receive an offer as a Sales Representative for a local concrete company. He spent over 20 years as their Sales Manager and was then promoted to General Manager. Having more than 50 years in the concrete industry through multiple mergers, he finally retired – but only for a couple of weeks! He was offered a sales position by the President of Sterling Concrete, George DeFalco, which he happily accepted due to his admiration for how the operation is run and has been a part-time team member since 2008. Eric and his wife, Brenda Barnicle, have 2 daughters each and enjoy their times in Fitchburg and Cape Cod.
