Who is Eric Arthur Seaberg
Executive summary
Public records and professional profiles show multiple people named Eric Seaberg active in distinct fields: a long-career audio engineer credited on IMDb and an Eric C. Seaberg who is a PhD epidemiologist and biostatistician at Johns Hopkins; none of the supplied sources clearly identify a person using the exact legal name "Eric Arthur Seaberg," creating ambiguity about which individual the query targets [1] [2] [3] [4]. Secondary background-reporting sites list several Eric Seabergs across the U.S. and link the Seaberg surname to an Arthur (Art) Seaberg who had a son named Eric, but those records do not definitively establish an “Eric Arthur Seaberg” as a single, uniquely documented person in the provided sources [5] [6] [7].
1. Who the name maps to in the public record: competing identities
One clear public figure named Eric Seaberg is an audio professional whose IMDb mini‑biography traces a recording‑industry career beginning in 1971 — roles at Kenjo Audio, Triad Recorders, Maximus Media and ownership of Seaberg Audio Services, later credited for work with Turning Point Ministries and television projects [1] [2]. A distinct and well‑documented Eric C. Seaberg is a doctoral‑level epidemiologist and biostatistician affiliated with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, with an appointment as assistant research professor and extensive peer‑reviewed publications on HIV, hepatitis, and chronic disease in cohort studies [3] [4] [8]. Commercial people‑search services and background‑report aggregators show numerous individuals named Eric Seaberg across states and ages, underscoring the risk of conflating records from different people [7] [6] [9].
2. Evidence linking an ‘Eric’ to Arthur (Art) Seaberg—and the limits of that link
The Minnesota legislative record for Arthur W. “Art” Seaberg lists children and explicitly names an Eric among them, establishing that a person named Eric was a child of Arthur Seaberg [5]. Wikipedia’s article on Art Seaberg confirms his family and public service but does not provide biographical detail tying that son to one of the professional Eric Seabergs identified elsewhere [10]. Thus, while there is documentary evidence of an Eric related to Arthur Seaberg, none of the supplied sources state that this son’s middle name is Arthur or that he is the audio engineer or the Johns Hopkins researcher — the precise identity “Eric Arthur Seaberg” remains unverified in the provided materials [5] [10].
3. Professional profiles that are verifiable and substantive
The Johns Hopkins Eric C. Seaberg has an institutional profile describing his roles in epidemiology and biostatistics, collaboration with transplant and HIV cohort studies, and a publication record visible in ResearchGate and Google Scholar; these verify an academic career trajectory and subject‑matter expertise [3] [11] [12]. The IMDb Eric Seaberg profile documents a decades‑long audio engineering and production career with credits on religious and television productions, giving a separate, concrete professional identity [1] [2]. These profiles are internally consistent and supported by academic publications or industry credits respectively, but they point to two different occupational biographies.
4. How to reconcile the ambiguity and next steps for confirmation
Reconciling whether an “Eric Arthur Seaberg” is one of the above individuals requires primary documents not present in the supplied set: birth or legal name records, a CV showing a middle name, or a trustworthy obituary/family source explicitly naming “Eric Arthur Seaberg.” Background aggregators and people‑finder services produce noisy, sometimes contradictory data about age and addresses, so they cannot substitute for authoritative identity confirmation [7] [6] [9]. The responsible conclusion, given the evidence at hand, is that multiple verifiable Eric Seabergs exist in public records but none of the provided sources incontrovertibly identifies anyone by the full name “Eric Arthur Seaberg.”
