Born on March 1, 1959, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Jim and Jean Steinhafel, Eric is brother to Gary and Ellen, cousin to Mark, and second-cousin to Andrew Steinhafel - owners of Steinhafels Furniture.

Steinhafel started his career as a salesman at Wickes Furniture in Chicago. He spent the last 37 years as a furniture manufacturer’s representative in Wisconsin for companies such as PeopLoungers, Jackson-Catnapper, Overnight Sofa, and Classic Home.
