Originally born in South Korea, Eric was adopted as an infant and raised in Houston, TX. He

grew up in a small-town church and attended Texas A&M, where he studied late 18th-century

literature.

Eric has more than 22 years of pastoral ministry experience. He has served on staff at Forest

Glen Christian Conference Center, The Woodlands United Methodist Church, and most

recently at Second Baptist Church in Houston, TX. He has experience in a variety of aspects

of ministry, including summer camps, worship planning, and teaching.

Eric holds a bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University (whoop!) and a Master of

Theology degree from Liberty University.

Eric has had the privilege of serving at Vanderbloemen since 2018. As a senior executive

search consultant, Eric works directly with churches, nonprofits, faith-based organizations,

family-run businesses, and schools, guiding them through Vanderbloemen’s extensive search

process to find the right staff for their organization. He focuses on discovering the unique

DNA of the organization and matching that DNA with candidates who possess the skills and

gifts they need to help them accomplish its mission.
