Eric has served as the Executive Director at the AZ House since its inception in 2016. 

Eric is well known as someone who will do anything to help people struggling with drug addiction and alcoholism, not only in Jerusalem, Israel. He has gone above and beyond for countless individuals, empowering and supporting them in their recovery.

In his free time, you can find Eric with his wife Temima, with his close friends, or putting work into any of various hobbies that he loves to do all over Israel.
