Hello, my name is Eric Stallmann. I was born and raised in the Macomb, Michigan area. My parents are Hank and Kim Stallmann. I have one older brother, Henry Stallmann, and he is married to his wife, Amanda. Fun fact about the males in my immediate family, we all attended Lutheran High North! Presently, my cousin, Avery, is a senior this year at North, and I will be teaching for her last year! I received a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science at Grand Valley State University. Upon graduation, I accepted a position as a Health Educator in Northern Michigan for the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. In this position, I was primarily responsible for designing one-on-one and group exercise programs. The best way to describe my return to Lutheran North is God called me to this position, with the help of Pam Jagoda (North's other PE/Health Teacher) as his instrument.
Please warmly welcome Eric as a Mustang and get to know him through our Staff Spotlight 20 Questions below!

20 QUESTIONS
What’s your role at Lutheran North?

Where are you from?
Lenox, Michigan
When did you know that you wanted to be in the Lutheran high school environment and what led you to pursue that path?
I believe God shows you the paths he wants you to take along your journey in life. The first path was upon graduation from college, where I served as a Health Educator in Northern Michigan for the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Here, I was equipped with knowledge and resources to better serve the community. Three years later (2026), I felt Him calling me to return to the high school graduated from -- Lutheran High North. In other words, He said, "it's time to come home!"
