Eric Hildebrand
Chapter Reporter
Raised
in Rockaway Beach, NY, Eric moved to Tampa 13 years ago to be closer to
his father. After 10 years of working as a skydiving instructor and
6,000+ jumps later, he realized that his future career prospects were
bleak without a more structured background and formal education. With
that, at 30 years old he returned to university and began the study of
accountancy. Excited to be a new officer of Beta Alpha Psi, Eric looks
forward to working closely with all of the members, participating in as
many BAP events as possible and enjoying his senior year at USF. He
looks forward to earning his CPA designation, securing an internship,
traveling the world next summer and soon, a family.
