The Chamber is pleased to announce that the late Erik Gutshall is our 2020 inductee into the Arlington Business Hall of Fame. Erik Gutshall was the owner of Clarendon Home Services, a small business which he founded in 2008 in Arlington after recognizing that many homeowners didn’t have adequate time to care for their homes. Erik's business model offered regular routine maintenance to subscribers, along with full Class A contractor services for remodeling and renovations. In 2012, Clarendon Home Services was recognized by the Chamber as the Small Service Business of the Year, an achievement that he spoke of proudly. Erik won a seat on the Arlington County Board in November 2017, and took office in January 2018. As a County Board member, Erik was able to call upon his experience as a small business owner and years of community volunteer leadership to advance conversations about the role that Arlington’s businesses play in strengthening our community. Upon receiving a diagnosis of a brain tumor, Erik lost his short but fierce battle on April 16, 2020. Erik leaves behind his wife, Renee, and their three children in the Clarendon neighborhood.
