Meet t he o w N er

Eric Schmidt and his wife, Heather, along with a few silent partners purchased the Spearfish Sasquatch following the 2019 season. “Being a part of the organization since its outset, we knew we had to jump at the opportunity to purchase the team when it became available. We quickly formed a group of Spearfish locals who all shared the same passion for keeping this awesome form of family entertainment in our community for years to come.”

Eric serves as the General Manager of the team, running all the day-to-day operations. A native of Schaller, IA, Eric has called Spearfish home since attending Black Hills State University where he earned a B.A. in Business Administration & Management in 2005. Before coming to the Sasquatch in 2018, he spent the previous 15 years at the Spearfish Holiday Inn & Lucky’s 13 Pub as the Director of Marketing & Human Resources. Eric has always had a passion for baseball and business, the prospect of merging the two is truly dream come true. In his spare time, you can find Eric golfing, attending concerts, traveling, playing volleyball or rooting for his beloved Chicago Cubs.

Heather grew up on a family farm near Hettinger, ND. After high school, she moved to the beautiful Black Hills to attend college where she graduated with a Bachelors in Business & Tourism from Black Hills State University in 2011. Spearfish has been Heather’s home for the past 16 years and she couldn’t imagine living anywhere else! Following an 8 year stint with Black Hills Energy, Heather now enjoys staying home raising their girls while working as a Virtual Assistant and serving as a Sales Rep for American Swag. When she does find free time, you’ll find Heather hanging out with friends and family, traveling, boating, attending concerts and snow skiing!

Married in 2016, the Schmidts welcomed their first daughter, Charlotte, to the world in April of 2020. In May of 2022, they welcomed another little girl, Lucy, to the family. The Schmidt family wants to sincerely thank you for attending games and supporting the Spearfish Sasquatch as we embark on our fifth season. We are working hard at building the Sasquatch culture both on and off the field and hope to cultivate an even stronger passion for the sport of baseball in Spearfish and throughout the entire Northern Hills for years and years to come. Thank you again for joining us for a game at Black Hills Energy Stadium, we hope you enjoy an amazing experience each and every night!

While competing for WPU, Hunt set the career records for hits (162) and runs scored (117). In 2019 he was a key contributor as William Penn won its first Heart of America Conference Championship.
