--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eric moved to Arizona when he was seven years old, attending Cocopah Elementary School and Chaparral High School. Eric earned a degree in Economics from the University of Southern California and a medical degree from the University of Arizona Medical School. His post-graduate training was in the specialty of emergency medicine at Portland’s Providence Emergency Department, eventually becoming Director of that department.
Eric returned to Arizona eleven years ago with his wife, Sarah Snell, also a physician, and their two children. While his wife concentrates on her practice, Dr. Meyer serves on the Scottsdale School District Governing Board.
A member of the Children’s Museum of Phoenix Board of Directors and the Scottsdale Unified School District All-City Athlete Banquet Board, Eric is a dedicated advocate for children. He has also served as a Legislative Liaison for the Scottsdale Parent Council, PTO President for Arcadia Neighborhood Learning Center, and Scottsdale Unified School District Budget Committee member.
Eric believes strong public schools are the bedrock of Arizona’s future. As a school board member for the past 4 years, he has gained intimate knowledge of our school’s needs, and has developed a plan to make our schools great. He has improved academic achievement and rigor district-wide, increased graduation requirements and expanded class offerings. Eric has also increased teacher’s salaries every year and is leading efforts to ensure every student is prepared for success in college and in life.
Eric’s background in economics and medicine give him the tools to address the growing problem of access to quality, affordable health care, especially for our children, and to identify ways to diversify and strengthen our economy.
