In 1993, when Eric was 10 years old, his family moved from Louisville, KY to Lebanon, KY. He had already expressed a knack for humor and storytelling but yet it wasn't until joining the Bethlehem High School Speech Team when he discovered a love for public speaking. However, before his freshman year of college had ended, a series of life events and crises rendered Eric mentally unstable and he withdrew from college. During his journey back to stability, he collected journals of his road to wellness, charting his manic episodes, positive affirmations and poems. He aspires to release the works soon. In his spare time he enjoys time with his wife and family, sporting events, standup comedy and volunteering in community events.
