Eric Kolb Co-Founder of Songs & Smiles

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton welcome Eric Kolb as a guest to the show.

Eric Kolb and his wife, Sheryl, founded Songs & Smiles in 2020. Building on lessons learned during their own experience caring for Sheryl’s mom, Trish, the couple started the nonprofit organization to help families navigate the challenges of the Alzheimer’s journey. Eric and Sheryl met and got married during college in Illinois. They have lived in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 1994.

As the organization’s Executive Director, Eric oversees day-to-day operations. He has presented more than 800 in-person singalong shows at care homes, and his online singalong videos are enjoyed by people around the world. Eric has been singing his whole life: in choirs, in musicals, at church, at weddings, and at numerous sporting events.

Eric previously worked in public relations and publishing, including positions at ClubCorp Publications and the Texas Rangers Baseball Club. He brainstormed with former co-workers to develop Joyful Memories, a dementia-friendly magazine.
