Eric very much enjoys Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and coming up with disparaging comments about Ginger Baker’s drumming. He began playing music before the age of ten focusing on the trumpet and the French horn. In middle school Eric began playing the drums and followed that up in high school with classical guitar. He entered college as a music major, but instead decided that math suited him better academically.

After earning his B.S. in mathematics from CSULB, Eric began teaching high school math in southern California. Eric’s musical influences range from Peaches and Herb to Depeche Mode. He began listening to classic rock in his formidable teenage years. This was followed by an unexplainable fascination with heavy metal that has now been clouded by grunge and country music.

Bands you may find in Eric’s CD collection are: 
Rush, the Dixie Chicks, Anthrax, the Beatles, J.S. Bach, the Pet Shop Boys, Jeff Buckley, 311, Black Sabbath, Kool and the Gang, the Greatful Dead, Nickel Creek, and Bob Marley. Eric spends a lot of time trying to comprehend Denis Chambers, and trying not to sound like Ginger Baker.
