Eric grew up as a Colorado native in the Front Range. At age three, he started skiing and has never looked back. Eric's fascination with snow science and avalanches began while he attended Prescott College, and he then went on to become an adjunct faculty member instructing their intensive avalanche block courses. As an educator for Prescott College and the Montana Wilderness School, Eric has also worked as a guide in Yellowstone National Park and on Mount Shasta. Eric is also a certified AIARE instructor. Having tasted the many flavors of the outdoor world, he's pleased to be a part of the MSAC and climbing rangers, where he can keep his hands in the snow and help people in the mountains. When snow does not exist, Eric can be found on horseback roaming the mountains, managing his and his wife’s ranch, playing music, or attempting to trail run.
