Eric and his wife Melody live in Lisbon Falls, Maine and have three boys. They are members of the Wales Brethren Church, where Eric serves as a minister. Eric did not grow up in a Christian home and did not become a Christian until he was twenty. Melody grew up in a Christian home where she received a solid Christian foundation. Sometime after marrying they sought out a church that practiced all the commandments of the New Testament. This led them to a conservative community within the Church of the Brethren. Eric is employed as an engineer and enjoys teaching and mentoring others. Eric has a desire to see others apply the Word of God to their lives to bring about real and lasting change toward God.
