Eric's Story
I went to Ft. Leavenworth and Vicksburg elementary schools, Oslo American (International) School, and Patrick Henry Village Elementary (Heidelberg). I attended Hayfield Jr. High, then Robinson Secondary school in Virginia. I moved to Alaska at the start of my senior year, graduating from Lathrop HS in Fairbanks. LHS was a significantly smaller school (class of 115) than Robinson (class of 900?). I continued playing percussion in Alaska, marching, wrestling and student council. I also started participating (through college) in musical stage theater and dance.
I studied petroleum engineering at the U of Alaska Fairbanks, hoping to remain in the state to work, enjoy the outdoors, etc. Ironically, I ended up taking a job overseas with Schlumberger for 19 years. I worked in Africa, Europe and CIS. In 1990 I married Shawn Slaughter, clas...Expand for more
s of '82 from rival hs in Fairbanks; we met in band at UAF. We have 3 girls and a boy, born from 1994 to 2005. We moved to Houston TX in 2007, my first time living in the US since graduating from college.
I'm still working as a petroleum engineer in the oil and gas upstream industry. Some days I'm a technically minded business person, and some days I'm a business minded engineer. As a creative driver I'm always on the go, though. I continue to enjoy science and engineering, perfoming arts or art in general, history and genealogy, investment, leadership and business and people management, landscaping/gardening, carpentry, my family, my community and the Christian life. I'm a tireless optimist.
I hope to reconnect with friends. Having been overseas for so long, so out of touch, I feel I have some catching up to do. Drop me a line.
