Having spent 10 years in higher education, Eric loves the opportunity to be a thought-partner alongside colleges and universities to build capacity and growth in their career ecosystem. He says that “Building ecosystems that increase capacity, foster innovation, and enhance collaboration - i.e., career education across campuses - is energizing, and a priority."

​

Eric received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Ohio University, and his Masters in Business Administration from Otterbein University. He lives in Granville, Ohio with his wife and two boys, where he spends countless (and extremely enjoyable) hours attending the boys sporting events; swimming, basketball, and baseball. He also enjoys outdoor adventures like snow skiing, camping and hiking, as well as vacationing to as many new and exciting destinations as possible.
