Hi! I’m Eric and I’m an advocate for joy.

Joy from God will free us from guilt and strengthen us through suffering. I love to write and speak about this unique joy we have in the Lord. I’m the Senior Pastor of Calvary Church of Santa Ana located in central Orange County, California. I have been married to Bea since 1997 and we have two teenage daughters navigating their way through high school and college.

I love competing in triathlons, surfing, reading, eating great food, Christmas lights, and then relaxing on the couch after all that wears me out.
