Eric Hanson

Eric Hanson has lived nearly his entire life in the Black Hills of South Dakota and has been a permanent resident of Spearfish, SD since graduating from Black Hills State University in 1995.  He is currently the Grounds Supervisor for the university. He has a long history of volunteering with various local organizations and boards like the Chamber of Commerce Beautification Committee and the Spearfish Parks, Rec and Forestry Advisory Board. 

He served as President of the Walton-Schuler Irrigation Ditch Company and is currently the Vice Chair of the Lawrence County Conservation District Board. 

Eric, alongside his wife Sherry and two children, Elsie and Loman, spend much of their free time roaming the Black Hills on foot, utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), or by camper, taking in the vast resources this little slice of heaven on earth provides. A large garden fills much of their time in the summer while archery, hunting, and ice-fishing fill the short days in the winter.
