Eric hails from the great state of New York. A graduate of Hobart College and Princeton Theological Seminary, he spends too much time thinking about the next time he'll make pizza. Eric loves the welcoming and familial nature of Second Church, spending time in the church kitchen, and the rich depth of our worship.
