Eric loves his role as the Executive Pastor of Rolling Hills Community Church as a coach, developer, and overseer of the staff and ministries. Eric has 14 total years of experience as an Executive Pastor and has been on staff at Rolling Hills in that capacity since 2017. Eric received his bachelor’s degree from Judson University in Elgin, IL and his Masters of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, IL. During his 25+ years of ministry, Eric has served in churches as a youth pastor, adult ministries pastor, small groups pastor, associate pastor, worship pastor, men’s pastor and sports pastor.

Eric also loves to serve the church at large. As a writer, Eric was a contributing author for Group Publishing’s “Men’s Ministry in the 21st Century”. In addition, he has written for magazines/web pages such as Church Executive, Rev!, Xpastor.org and had a monthly column in Church Solutions magazine. He also serves the church at large through consulting and seminar presenting.

As much as Eric enjoys ministry, his real joy and first ministry is his family. He has been married to Rachel for 25 years. They live in Spring Hill, TN and have a married son, Luke, 23 and his wife Megan, 23, and 2 additional children in college – Adam, 21 and Chloe, 19. They also have a much-loved cocker spaniel, Penny. A man of faith, he never had a doubt (well maybe a little doubt) that the Cubs would one day win the World Series. Now that that day has come, he is now believing for 5 or 6 more World Series victories over the next decade ahead.
