International Speaker and Mentor
Born in South Central Los Angeles, one of the toughest neighbourhoods in America with a bone disease in both knees, Eric was abandon by his birth parents. He fought incredible odds to elevate himself into a brighter future.
Dealing with racism, drug infested surroundings, gang violence, low socio-economic conditions and a school system that said he would never graduate; his turning point came at age 14 when Eric began to plan his future - not by saying, but by doing. Training every morning and studying every evening. He tried out for the Basketball team at school and went on to take his high school basketball team to its first and only state Championship!
Because of Eric’s planning, persistence and passion, he received a Basketball scholarship to Boise State University and graduated with a Bachelor in Marketing and Communications. Eric came to Australia in 1982 to play basketball in the National Basketball League. He played with the Hobart Devils, Melbourne Tigers, and Gold Coast Rollers. During that time he worked in many customer driven businesses such as sales, promotions, fitness, media, marketing, basketball coaching, and health industries.
After retiring from basketball Eric decided to direct his passion into motivating and activating people. One of his first roles was to be the host of the NBA ALL STAR weekend Jam session, the first person to be brought in from outside the USA. Here he was able to combine his communication skills, marketing, sport, and energy to actively energize over 100,000 people over a three day weekend.
Eric has used all of the lessons of life, sport, and international travel to now deliver dynamic presentations and interactive workshops.
