About Eric…
Eric was born and raised among the cornfields of Illinois. He was a happy kid who grew up riding bikes, building snowmen with his brother and making s'mores around campfires. Growing up in a small town helped shape his friendly midwestern outlook. But after watching 'Home Alone 2' as a kid, he made up his mind to live in NYC someday. Eric has always been deeply involved in the arts, especially after receiving his first piano at the age of 3. Often found in school plays, marching bands, jazz choirs and college shows, he found remarkable fulfillment in entertaining through music. However his greatest credit by far is marrying Justin, his best friend and the man he gets to be a father with.
Eric according to Justin…
"Eric's boundless love for life inspires me every day. He has one of the kindest and most generous hearts of gold, and this truly makes me the luckiest man to be able to call him my husband, partner, and best friend in every sense of the word. When he is in his element, whether teaching music to kids, conducting and leading an orchestra, or organizing an outing for our family and loved ones, Eric leads with patience, selfless compassion, and humility that inspires me to be a better person. He makes me laugh like no one else, and his playful optimism in any situation is both reassuring and encouraging. Alongside his ever-bright outlook, Eric is also a realist, and his work ethic, responsibility, and dedication towards his goals are unwavering. He will be the most incredible dad, and I can't wait for our adventures together as a family."
