Eric grew up in upstate New York.  He remembers attending church with his family sporadically. Intellectually, Eric believed in Jesus but the gospel did not have an impact on his life. Instead Eric pursued identity, purpose and fulfillment in other ways. That mostly happened through performance and achievement in both athletics and academics. The desire to succeed was the driving force of his life.

When Eric graduated college, he moved to New York City and started working as a sports marketing agent. His life mantra during that time was to work hard and play hard. He intensely pursued everything the city had to offer and this led him down some dark paths. He lived fully and totally for himself, constantly striving for bigger and better in all that he did.

At age 27, Eric was offered an incredible opportunity to work as a Marketing Director in Southeast Asia. He knew it would allow him to become even more successful, make more money, and to capitalize on what he thought would result in true fulfillment. But at the core, success left Eric feeling alone and unfulfilled. This launched Eric into a journey where he began asking questions about life and truth. What is the purpose of life? Who is God? Eric went on an intense quest to find God. He studied Christianity, the Bible, world religion and philosophy.
