Mr. Eric Thomas Eads was born in Buffalo, New York, yet somehow became a Dallas Cowboys fan. He attended Harvard College, graduating with a degree in History and managed to play football, rugby, DJ at the radio station and become a Class Marshall. His first job after graduation was at The Landon School for Boys in Bethesda, Maryland. There he taught boys from Grade 7 to senior year while coaching football, wrestling and track. The siren song of technology called Mr. Eads away from teaching and to Sun Microsystems, where he stayed for four years before becoming a sales engineer for a small firm. During this time, Mr. Eads met and married his wife Chrystn and had three daughters, Carter, McKinley and Monroe. In 2006, the family moved to Hawaii and The Punahou School, alama mater of President Obama. Over eleven years, Mr. Eads took up two new interests - BBQ and bagpiping. Mr. Eads came to Sage Ridge in 2017 where he teaches Upper School History, is the History Department Chair and is the Student Government advisor.

"Teaching has always been a part of me. My earliest job seemed to all be mentoring/coaching opportunities. The impact that a teacher can have on a student's, even a family's life is extraordinary. It's a phenomenal opportunity to help students be the best that they can be."
