About Me

Hi, I’m Eric. When I was 7 years old my mother gave me a TI-99/4A for Christmas. It was love at first sight. I wrote my first line of code that day:

I’ve been hooked ever since.

In junior high, instead of mowing lawns, I wrote dBASE III Plus databases for local businesses.

By the time I was 17, I was writing mission-critical C++ and Visual Basic code for Best Buy Corporate. I’ve been in technology ever since, serving in every capacity from development to senior leadership; and there’s nothing I’d rather do.

My passion is working with smart, driven teams and helping them to achieve their vision. I’m looking forward to working with you!
