A native of Montana, Eric graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Physics/Astrophysics. During his time there, he was a track and field scholarship athlete, serving as Captain of the men’s track team for two years and setting a collegiate record in the pole vault. Initially aspiring to become a Navy aviator, the end of the Gulf War delayed his military service, leading him to establish his first technology company in South Florida—a decision that reshaped his career trajectory

Eric’s business achievements span multiple sectors, including state and federal government, telecommunications, wildlife management and conservation, media, and marketing. An avid car enthusiast and outdoorsman, he hosted the two-time Emmy Award-winning TV program “The Sovereign Sportsman,” which facilitated his involvement with A Soldier’s Child Foundation. Nearly a decade ago, he began contributing to ASC’s outdoor mentorship and camp programs. A Soldier’s Child is near and dear to Eric’s heart and he’s honored to serve on its Board of Directors.
