Eric left the Hoosier State shortly after graduating high school and entered the United States Army. Having migrated across the country and up and down the California Coast, he is proud to call San Francisco home. Eric attended UC Berkeley as a Regents’ & Chancellors Scholar, earning his B.A. in Peace and Conflict Studies. Eric volunteers his time for organizations such as Pets Are Wonderful Support (PAWS), Swords to Ploughshares, The Peace Alliance, and is a founding member of the Stonewall Young Democrats in Los Angeles.

Eric has raised several million dollars for nonprofits through his work in communications and development. Eric has a couple projects currently underway that taps into the entrepreneurial spirit of Sandbox Suites and builds on his passion for social justice and experience in fundraising and communications. In his spare time, Eric enjoys writing for his political blog and is currently knee-deep in writing his first novel. To unwind, Eric tends to his garden, whips up meals in the kitchen, and enjoys cheap beer and a grassy park with his friends.
