Operations Manager & A/V Coordinator

Eric is the definition of a ‘jack-of-all-trades’! His background and knowledge of audio visual systems brought him to The Harbert Center, but we soon realized that was not his only area of expertise.  Eric is also a pastor, entrepreneur, salesman, and a musician. Other notable past endeavors include baling hay, parking cars at a flea market, and working at a popcorn factory.

Eric has been at The Harbert Center since 2014, and says what he enjoys most is helping clients have as stress-free of an event as possible, and ensuring their guests have a memorable experience.  He has an A.A. in Bible from Hesston College in Kansas, and a B.S. in Christian Ministries and Youth Ministry from Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, VA.
