Who is Eric? I think Doug summed it up best when he said, "He is Energetic and Athletic." If you see a picture of me without my tongue out or smiling then keep it, it is a rare thing and may be worth tons of money some day. If you have not noticed, I do like taking pictures of myself for any reason that you have for me.

I did my first skydive on July 5, 2009 and my second on July 25, 2009. I have been holding back for many years because I was scared I would love this. I was right. I wish I were skydiving right now.




July 19, 2004 is when I got my first motorcycle and September 8, 2006 was my first accident that took me off my feet for many months. I had no interest until I took the class for free in town and then I was addicted. Winter is not a fun time because I do not get to ride that often. I always look forward to the summer.


In the winter you can see me snowboarding with various people. Kris, Doug, Jeremy and maybe even you. If you plan on going on a trip call me. I would love to go. December 2007 was my first time boarding in the Mountains of Colorado.




Starting in June of 2006 I started Geocaching. I have been wanting to get into geocaching in 2002 but did not want to get the GPS. If you want me to take you out and show you I will. It is fun. You can view my profile here.




2006 was my first year playing softball. I grew up playing baseball all my life thinking that would be my life. Now I find myself organizing and playing with our Provena team in Joliet.





I love taking pictures. You can tell with all of my flicker pictures. Back in March of 2005 I started taking pictures for dpchallenge.com. I am hot and cold with this site because it takes so much of my time in order to get the pictures I want. And I never get the picture I want. My profile can be found here. I got my first digital camera in 2002 and first SLR in 2004.


I was introduced to technical climbing in 1995. I climb outside when friends go out and try to get in the gym once a week during fall winter and spring. My love for climbing has been around forever. I especially loved climbing trees when I was a kid. We recently have been climbing at VE, Devils Lake and the Mississippi Palisades.


I started playing and organizing volleyball since 1996 when I started watching my brother play HS volleyball. Since then I have played on a indoor team in 2005 and a sand Volleyball Team in 2009.




Last but not least is Frisbee. I have been playing organized Ultimate frisbee since the summer of 1996 when I helped organize the ISU frisbee team. 1997-2001 I helped organize, start and play on the first sports team in Columbia College in Chicago's History, ultimate frisbee. 2004-2005 I played with XOLO, a team out of Chicago. We were one game away from Nationals my first year on the team. I can be found playing Spring and Fall League at Schiller Park.
