Town Meeting Precinct 12
MEET ERIC
My wife and I are 25+ year residents of Aspinwall Hill. We love walking the neighborhood streets, visiting the businesses of Washington Square, and meeting friends at our local restaurants.
​
I am a product of public schools and forever grateful to those teachers: grades 1-12 through my bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. I also hold a master's degree in Leadership from Lesley University.
​
I teach leadership, negotiation, and conflict resolution at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and serve as Associate Director of the National Preparedness Leadership Initiative at Harvard. I also teach at MIT, UMass Medical Center, and other institutions as well as speak around the world.
​
I am the co-author of the books You're It: Crisis, Change, and How to Lead When it Matters Most and Renegotiating Healthcare: Resolving Conflict to Build Collaboration. I have written more than 200 bylined articles.
​
I serve on the Leadership Communications Council at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia and as an advisor to the Mental Health Literacy Collaborative.
​
Animals are never far from my mind. My cockapoo Cooper usually accompanies me around the neighborhood (at right, at an MSPCA fundraiser at Fenway Park). I serve as a Community Advocacy Leader for the MSPCA and on the board of Massachusetts for Elephants. I am a birder, so you may find me wandering with binoculars.
And go, Red Sox!
