Meet Eric
For 40 years, I've walked the sidelines of high school athletics, witnessing how mentorship can transform young lives. As an FCA Ambassador, my calling extends far beyond coaching - it's about guiding athletes to discover purpose, strength, and faith through sports. Every whistle, every huddle, every conversation is an opportunity to show young people that their potential reaches far beyond the playing field. My mission isn't just about winning games, but about winning hearts for Christ, helping athletes understand their true identity and potential through a relationship with Jesus. Supporting FCA means supporting life-changing moments where athletes learn they're valued, loved, and created for something greater than themselves.
Unlike pastors or church staff, I receive no salary unless it comes through faithful supporters like you.
As a 100% self-supported missionary, every aspect of this ministry—from my ability to travel to campuses to the Bibles we place in students' hands—depends entirely on the financial gifts I raise. Your donation isn't just supplemental funding; it's the difference between this ministry existing on school campuses in our area or it disappearing.
I've witnessed students make life-altering decisions for Christ, seen coaches transform their approach to leadership, and watched as entire teams have been influenced by the gospel. None of this happens without financial partners who make it possible.
“I believe in building a relationship is the most powerful tool we have. It’s about coming together with one heartbeat for a common purpose, whether that’s through sports or faith.”
My mission goes beyond traditional ministry - it's about creating authentic connections with students and coaches across San Antonio. Through what I call a "ministry of presence," I'm intentionally available on campuses, at practices, and during pivotal moments in students' lives. I don't follow a rigid script; instead, I create spaces where genuine relationships can take root. Every conversation is an opportunity to show these young athletes that they're seen, valued, and loved - not just as players, but as individuals with incredible potential. By showing up consistently and authentically, I'm helping students discover their true worth and purpose beyond the field or court. Supporting this work means investing in the next generation, one meaningful connection at a time.
Mission & Approach
Making an Impact
I'm dedicated to establishing and supporting FCA Huddles across our region, transforming the landscape of student ministry through strategic, intentional engagement. In schools across our region, I'm creating transformative spaces where faith meets athletics, including:
- Leading Bible studies with students and athletic staff
- Mentoring individuals through their faith journey
- Training student leaders to guide their own FCA groups
- Connecting students with local church communities
- Supporting coaches and athletic programs
The Power of Presence
Transformation happens through a consistent, caring presence. I'm not just a program coordinator - I'm a dedicated advocate who shows up daily. By regularly visiting campuses, attending practices, and making myself available, I create spaces of genuine connection and support. My approach has been revolutionary, establishing FCA programs in schools that previously had no spiritual support for athletes. Each campus visit is an opportunity to plant seeds of hope, to show students and staff that they're valued beyond their athletic performance. Supporting this mission means helping me expand these lifelines of faith and mentorship, reaching students who desperately need guidance, connection, and spiritual leadership.
Do you have some time to pour into the next generation? I’d love to hear from you!
“O God, You have taught me from my youth; And to this day I declare Your wondrous works. Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come. Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You?”
— Psalms 71:17-19
