Eric joined the ACLU of Utah in December of 2021 after several years field organizing for both local and federal political campaigns, as well as gathering signatures for a recent ballot initiative.
Prior to his campaign work, Eric did video and multimedia production in the fields of entertainment, news, and education. Always interested in supporting people to live their own best lives, however ‘best’ is defined for them, he also certified and practiced as a personal life coach.
Eric studied at the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College, where he was a founding member of SLCC’s Lesbian & Gay Student Union, before earning a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute at a time when politicians were debating the very existence of public funding for the arts and whether to increase limits on individuals’ freedom of expression.
As someone who has always been passionate about social justice, civil liberties and personal action, Eric is excited to begin a new chapter supporting an organization that reflects those values.
