My Why

Eric is drawn to the work of improving our nation's education system because he has always been compelled to help correct the injustices in the world, even when it is unpopular or costly. One of his first jobs after college, as a high school teacher in an alternative school, opened his eyes irreversibly to the variety of the human experience, the injustices of the world, and the very different opportunities that he had in comparison to his students—solely due to the zip code lottery.

What Brings Me Joy

Eric loves to stay active by running, cycling, and powerlifting. He also has two toddlers at home that keep him busy.
