Meet Eric Plumlee,
Chairman of the Board of Directors
|
|
|
Eric Plumlee serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors at StoneBridge School. A Hampton Roads native, he graduated from Cox High School before studying engineering at Virginia Tech and law at Regent University. Now, he is the owner and operator of Plumlee & Overton, P.C., a firm of five attorneys that handles family law, criminal law, civil litigation, corporate/business law, estate planning, real estate, and probate work.
Plumlee and his wife, Mandi, are parents to four girls, Allie (Class of 2017), Emmie (Class of 2018), Nattie (6th grade), and Libbie (4th grade). They were introduced to StoneBridge when they were invited to a fundraising banquet. At the banquet, they were impressed by the poise and eloquence of the speaker, a recent StoneBridge graduate, and decided to enroll Allie into the preschool program, officially joining the SBS community.
Plumlee brings 21 years of legal and contract negotiation acumen to the Board of Directors and has a vision for the school that goes beyond the classroom and the campus: “My vision for StoneBridge School is that it will continue to produce academically exceptional students who love Jesus and who are bold in their expressions of faith. I want to see StoneBridge be more than just another Christian school producing academically competitive students. I want to see StoneBridge be known as a community of believers who embody the love of Christ, in word and in deed, and who make a meaningful impact throughout the Hampton Roads area.”
