Eric has held numerous positions at Mercersburg in addition to his duties in the science classroom, including head boys' tennis coach (since 1995), registrar (since 2000), associate academic dean (2014-2015), and now academic dean (since 2015). He also served as the school's first director of dormitories from 2009 to 2014. Eric's scientific interests fall most heavily in the fields of evolutionary biology, molecular biology, and field ornithology. The latter was the subject of his master's thesis, titled “Composition and Dynamics of Bird Communities at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.” Eric has a high affinity for computers and software, and creates animations and computer simulations to help his biology students better understand biological concepts. He played soccer and tennis at the College of Wooster and is a past recipient of the school's James M. Johnston Foundation Chair. Eric and his wife, Renee (a fellow science faculty member), have two children, Elliot '16 and Emma '19.
