Eric Eggers

Eric Eggers is the proud son of Hall of Fame paint salesman Gary Eggers, and also the progeny of a couple high level bureaucrats who, understandably, would just as soon not have their association with Eric Eggers be known to the world.

Eric had the unique and obviously positive experience of splitting his childhood between Titusville and Tallahassee, FL before finally settling in Florida’s capital in 1996. He spent three years at Lincoln, then like seven at Florida State before heading over to the Department of Education, where he trumpeted the triumphs of Jeb Bush’s A+ Plan for Education. He pretty much bailed on that after a few months to pursue his true passion…poverty.

In his spare time Eric teaches GMAT, GRE and SAT prep classes, attends and teaches Sunday School at Crossbridge Christian Church, enjoys any number of outdoor pursuits including golf, kayaking or hiking on the Appalachian Trail or at any of the award winning Florida State Parks. He also captains the 1987 Field Day Champions Co-ed rec soccer team (presented by Carpet One), stalks Leonard Hamilton, and writes third-person bios.

If the City of Tallahassee is serious about trying to create a 18 hour downtown, having more elections would seem to be a great way to accomplish the goal. Too bad then, that Amendment 4 was soundly defeated. The so called “Hometown Democracy” Amendment would have required a vote every time a comp plan was amended, meaning more votes, and more importantly to the City, more election night parties.
