Getting Personal

Eric’s broad array in digital media began when he first programmed his own version of the video game “Berzerk” on a neighbor’s AppleII. This excitement with computers later transitioned to animated graphics on his dad’s Dell. Wisps of green strobing spirograph-like lattices danced around the 16bit monochromatic screen and inspired Eric to delve further into digital media. Eric’s educational background started with 3-D modeling and animation on the TARGA-TIPS platform and soon evolved over to the first PowerMac systems using Strata 3D and later with Intel Macs and Maya for 3D character animation.

When he is not pushing pixels around, Eric supports a variety of charitable organizations such as Anchor House of NJ, and enjoys keeping up on the latest and greatest media software and tech gadgets, all-the-while exploring the world of video games and TED talks. Hobbies include skydiving, kayaking and canyoning, traveling to the South West, and camping. Learning is a passion which is never quenched. Eric is currently looking to work with creative fearless think-tanks in Princeton, NYC, Southern Utah, Arizona, Califonia, and Hawaii.

(Be the change you want to see in the world)

“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.” – Gandhi
