Eric is an Actor, Model, and Performer based in LA and also a World Traveler. 
Competing in many different sports: cross country, basketball, track, soccer, baseball, he
grew up an athlete. He kept running as a hobby and raced once in a while. He started
performing in middle school in plays and his first musical in high school—and he never
looked back. He went to see his first Broadway show and decided to move to New York for
college. He started modeling there and quickly signed with 5 top agencies worldwide in
LA, NY, Chicago, Paris, and Milan. He booked the Kinky Boots National tour a few years
post-college and has pursued the art ever since.
With humble beginnings but always a big dreamer, Eric is a mixed BIPOC artist who only
recently learned to embrace every color of himself. Recently engaged and planning his
wedding, he is excited about the next adventure.
