Eric Smerdon

Special Education Behavioral Technician

Hello! I'm Eric, I was born in California, and have lived in Oregon, Idaho, and Tennessee. I have two kids who both have special needs. I attended BYU-Idaho where I received my BS in psychology, and I am currently attending Arizona State University where I am working on completing my Masters in special education with emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, writing, photography, travel, psychology, philosophy, and playing a plethora of board/video games with my friends. My two favorite quotes are: "If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete" -Jack Kornfield  and  "I know that I know nothing" -Socrates I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of Ascent Academies and help students grow to their best abilities, go Huskies!
