Current and Past Partners
After an initial career working for a Fortune 500 company, Eric very intentionally chose to change his career and serve his community. With the desire to feel on a daily basis like he was making a difference in the lives of the poor, the sick, and the lonely, he now uses his creative problem solving and straightforward communication skills to lead a team of experts at EDEN+ who provide fundraising and philanthropy support for nonprofit organizations in Des Moines, greater Iowa, and across the country.
“We know he has our best interests at heart, which is why so many of our institutional leaders go to him for advice, perspective, and community connections.”
— Jason Kurth, Chancellor of the Diocese of Des Moines
“Eric has quickly solidified himself as a respected expert in his field here in Des Moines.”
— Garrett Christen, Board Member of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa
“Eric singlehandedly took a stagnant and defunct project and breathed new life into it by breaking the mold of a traditionally older and female group and adjusting the model to engage the next generation of male spouses of physicians and their families.”
— Michael Flesher, CEO/EVP of Iowa Medical Society
