Personal life

Eichenberg and his wife, Sandra, have two adult children. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus and has served on the boards for the National Kidney Foundation and the Arthritis Foundation.

In 2015, a complaint was filed against then state treasurer Eichenberg accusing him of sexism and racism. When asked if he's ever made sexist or racist remarks to any state employees, Eichenberg said, "In my opinion, it's nothing more than sensationalism, and it's very politically motivated." The state personnel office, run by then governor Susana Martinez's administration, cut ties with Eichenberg, according to the Albuquerque Journal and an official letter sent to Eichenberg by the state personnel office.
