Born and raised in the suburbs north of Chicago, Eric stayed close to home for college at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign before moving cross-country for medical school in Las Vegas. There he met his wife, Jacinda. They were married in 2022 near Vancouver, Canada before moving back to his hometown of Park Ridge, IL for pediatric residency. They welcomed their daughter, Olive Grace, in 2024.

Eric enjoys hockey, tennis, and dad jokes. In fact, he has a friend that’s addicted to the hokey pokey. It was a tough couple of years... but eventually the friend turned himself around.
