Originally from Indiana, Eric has spent his career working and partnering with organizations around the world to improve public sector performance. As the Director of GovEx Academy, he directs a team dedicated to building public sector capacity to use data through education. GovEx Academy delivers online and in-person trainings for and by public sector employees designed to quickly and practically build critical skills.

He played baseball in college and is always happy to discuss the nuances of baseball around the world (ask him how a Mexican former major leaguer in South Korea became his favorite baseball player).
