Board Bios: Meet Eric Halbach
Eric Halbach has dedicated more than two decades to public service since joining the Fond du Lac County Sheriff’s Office in November 2001.
Eric has served in nearly every capacity–from Jail Deputy to Patrol Deputy, Patrol Sergeant to Patrol Lieutenant, and is currently the Captain of Administration and Communications. Outside of work, one of his newest roles is joining the Sophia Board of Directors in January 2025.
Throughout his career, Eric has gone beyond the call of duty.
He contributed to the Dive and Crash Reconstruction Teams, served as former President of the Midwest Public Safety Divers Association, and a former member of the Wisconsin Civil Process Group Board of Directors. Currently, he serves as the Sheriff’s Office Peer Support Coordinator, a member of the Wisconsin Executive Peer Support Team, and on the Envision Greater Fond du Lac Leadership Fond du Lac Advisory Committee.
Eric and his wife, Lorri, have been married for 21 years, have two sons, and currently reside in Marytown. Eric has a deep interest in his community and serves on the Marytown Athletic Club Board of Directors and the Our Lady of the Holyland Finance Committee.
He has found that as a community-benefit, nonprofit organization, Sophia Partners adds great value to both him and the Fond du Lac community. The classes he’s attended have led to personal growth and organizational growth within the Sheriff’s Office.
“Sophia has helped me understand the ‘why’ behind what I do,” he shared. “By gaining clarity on what motivates me, I believe I can serve the community more effectively.”
