Seeking meaning, Eric abandoned a career in finance to work on an ambulance, later selling everything he owned to live in a van, tooling around the West while delving into the depths of human tragedy as a critical care nurse. His journey included four degrees, MS/BS Math, BS Nursing, and most interestingly, a BS in Psychology, focusing on human connection, gender relations, and sexuality.
Additionally, as an avid backpacker he has spent months in the wilderness, covering thousands of miles over large chunks of the Appalachian Trail and Pacific Crest Trail, among numerous others. He has also explored the backcountry in Patagonia, Norway and Canada.
Yet always an echo persisted across the years, whispered in an eerie unison by teachers, professors, managers, employees, colleagues, friends: ‘Eric, you are a Writer.’ Heeding this advice, he purchased a tiny cabin in the mountains, offering the time and solitude to focus on his long-term passion of creative writing. He can be found trail running in the surrounding wilderness, and he is well known for his love of burritos.
