Eric came to Kansas from Plano, Texas, where he attended Plano West Senior High School. He also previously lived in Coral Springs, Fla., and was born in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.

Eric attended Kansas University, where he graduated from the School of Journalism in 2006.

He worked for the Journal-World part-time, covering Free State High athletics, from May 2006 to May 2007, when he moved to Tonganoxie to become sports editor of The Mirror, one of The World Company's weekly newspapers. In February 2008, Eric re-joined the Journal-World as a sports copy editor. He also produces the Big 12 Spotlight feature in the sports section on Wednesdays.

Eric considers family - his brother David, who attends the University of Arizona, his mother Debbi and his father Ralph - the most important parts of his life.

In his spare time, Eric likes to watch the Texas Rangers online, shoot threes in the Journal-World's pick-up games and listen to music. Some of his favorite bands include Fair to Midland, Metallica, Sevendust, Avenged Sevenfold and AFI.
