About Eric

• I come from a long line of educators—my mom’s side of the family are all educators, dating back to the 1800s, but I never thought I would also end up working in the educational field.
• Throughout childhood, my father urged me to be an engineer, so I went into college intending to major in engineering...but ended up hating it.
• During my sophomore year, I dropped my entire course schedule and switched to a business degree—I still minored in engineering.
• My first career job was with Huckaby and Associates, a firm that provides financial, management, and governmental consulting services—one of our clients was former President George H.W. Bush.
• I went back to school to get my MBA in international finance at ASU’s Thunderbird School of Global Management—I continue to maintain relationships with fellow Thunderbird graduates around the world.
• Through one of my entrepreneurial endeavors, I was involved with training nurses in the Philippines and bringing them to the U.S., which is how I got involved in the human capital side of healthcare.
• Continuing in healthcare human capital, I did a lot of work in East Africa on capacity building surrounding the HIV crisis.
• I currently work as CEO of The College of Health Care Professions, which is the largest provider of allied health graduates in the state of Texas—I also plan to open an allied health school in Africa.
