TYLER, Texas (KLTV) – Tonight on East Texas Tonight, we’re getting to know a man whose career has taken a few interesting turns.
David Eikner is a Tyler native, a longtime East Texas community leader, and a retired financial-services executive. These days, you can find him at Stephen F. Austin State University, where he serves as a Farm Manager working with the university’s agricultural facilities.
But there’s a lot more to David than his title — from his roots in Tyler and decades of community involvement to his family, faith, and the things he enjoys when he’s away from work.
