ERA - Key Persons

Andrew was born and raised in Philadelphia and attended Penn State Ogontz. After a few years, he realized that he was more interested in working with his hands. In the late 70's, Andy worked for an Electrical Contractor over 40 hours weekly while completing a 4-year Electrical Apprenticeship program at Eastern Montgomery Vocational Technical School. On his first attempts, Andy passed both tests and gained his Electrical License in Philadelphia and New Jersey, which was the catalyst that started Emergency Response Associates. Andy became NICET III Certified in Fire Alarm Systems and he later achieved his Delaware Fire Alarm Contractors License, which allowed ERA to perform work throughout the Delaware Valley. With the help of talented and special individuals, Andy guided Emergency Response Associates from their single, first client, to the company it has become today.

Jonathan was born and raised in Philadelphia and graduated from Overbrook High School and received his BS in Accounting from Philadelphia Textile, which is now Jefferson University. Jonathan previously managed a portfolio of 18 apartment communities comprising over 1,200 units. In 1994, while working together with Andrew (Andy) Lieberman, the City of Philadelphia adjusted their codes in regards to Fire Alarm Systems in multi-family dwellings. Jonathan and Andy formed Emergency Response Associates (ERA) with the intention of upgrading the properties which they managed, and once they completed their own upgrades, they pursued an opportunity to seek additional business in the Greater Philadelphia region. Jonathan is responsible for the financial aspects associated with the operations of ERA as well as the cultivation and maintenance of client relationships.
