Eric shares similar passions to his colleagues. Growing up in California, Eric was a competitive cyclist as a teen, spent the winters skiing and snowboarding, and the summers on the beaches. As an avid surfer, snowboarder, skier and hiker, he has traveled the Americas in search of great waves and great snow. Most of his adventures have been skiing North American peaks, surfing in Costa Rica and hiking the ancient Inca trails in Peru. When not laying down turns in the snow or on the water, Eric and his wife enjoy the easy wilderness access Northern California offers.
