Eric is passionate about empowering people, young and old, to make health and fitness a priority within their lives. From working with Dayani Center members on the exercise floor to coordinating the Dayani Sports Performance Center, his interests are in the people who come to the center to improve their health and fitness. The prevention and treatment of Childhood Obesity has been very important to Eric over the last several years. He currently works with the Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital in their Pediatric Weight Management Clinic. This passion has also led him to develop a weekly community-based effort called Tennessee Kids Overcoming. This program has been designed to reach out to families and kids struggling with their weight by offering opportunity and accountability. Eric received his B.S. in Exercise Physiology from Lipscomb University and is certified by ASCM and HFI and in CPR.
