Eric Sampson, Secretary

Eric Sampson joined CERT in 2014 thinking that it could provide a complementary activity to his volunteer role as a Boy Scout Leader. Eric is retired after thirty years of service in the US Government. He found it hard to stay on the sidelines, so he took a part time job with a local charity. Eric has also served for several years as the Strike Team Lead for the Carmel Clay Strike Team. As a resident of Hamilton County for over 40 years, he considers volunteer work of this nature to be a rewarding and engaging experience.

Steve Arnold, Member

Shortly following his retirement Steve Arnold joined the Hamilton County CERT program in the spring of 2019 as part of class “Uniform” and has been an active participant in supporting both the mission of the CERT program along with Hamilton County Emergency Services. Originally from Ohio where he was an educator and HS Principal before moving to Fishers, IN in 1989 to work for the Herff Jones Co. leading the newly formed College Division. Steve’s understanding of the college market and leadership abilities soon led to Regional and VP positions in the apparel industry. Retirement was to take him back to the family farm in Ohio but with his wife, three children and 9 grandchildren well established in central Indiana the decision was made to sell the farm and make Fishers their permanent residence.
