The 43-year-old Cincinnati native has the primary role of directing the media relations, broadcast production, web site, publicity, publications, record-keeping and research for XU's 16 NCAA Division I sports.

Outside of Xavier, Eiser has worked a long list of NCAA Championships as well as media venues for both the 1994 Men’s World Cup soccer matches and the 2003 Women’s World Cup.
Eiser, a 1984 graduate of Xavier University with a bachelor’s degree in English, came back to Xavier in 1986 after spending the 1985-86 year as Assistant SID at the University of Detroit.
