Eric also enjoys coaching his son’s hockey team, playing hockey, hiking, woodworking, completing home improvements and building with LEGOs.

Eric really enjoys working at the AOC, because “there is always a new challenge every day that I get to tackle with amazing teammates, and being part of something that has national and international impact and supporting the Senate and Congress is an amazing honor.”
