About Eric
Born and raised in Prince George
He was a public school student and graduated from Prince George High School. He joined Burrowsville Volunteer Fire Department as a cadet volunteer firefighter in high school as a way to serve his community and got his first look into politics and how the government operated.
Time to fix issues
After high school, he earned his bachelor’s degree in Finance at the University of South Carolina. After graduation, he lived in Baltimore City for 6 years and learned about the challenges cities face. Along with the innovation and opportunities Baltimore had to offer, he saw the extreme crime, poverty, and homelessness that put the community behind, especially children.
Back in the neighborhood
In 2018, he moved back home to his family’s farm in Prince George and learned the immense challenges that Virginia farmers face and the struggles associated with trying to launch a small business. He has a small business background in construction and finance and knows what it takes to run a successful business.
Time for solutions
It was after getting settled back home that he saw some of the same crime, poverty, and homelessness that riddled Baltimore in his own community that career politicians had ignored. Having worked with many trades, Eric knows how to do more than just write bills that support career and technical education. Eric knows we must teach kids principles in finance and real estate. Eric knows that we must work together to find sensible solutions to the issues facing our community and he is prepared to be the citizen leader for the 13th Senate District that is sorely needed.

“Virginia is at a crossroads. We need fresh, bold, new leadership that will bring solutions that no longer kick the can down the road. I look forward to working with the community to help solve the issues that have been plaguing us for too long.”
