Eric and and his wife, Stephanie, were both born and raised in Kentucky.

In 2007, they got married, moved to Saint Louis, and started their lives together as Eric attended Covenant Seminary and Stephanie worked. In 2011, they were called to remain in Saint Louis where Eric started serving as an Assistant Pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church. Right around that same time, their daughter Anna Katherine came along, then son Callan in 2012, son Lawson in 2014, and finally daughter Cora in 2017. Eric and Stephanie have long had a heart for young adults and college students and are so excited to be living here in Bloomington and ministering to students at IU.
