I learned early in my life that I had high standards.

Eric's love for running began when he was in junior high. Once Eric hit high school, he took his dedication to the next level and was consistently improving his times. After high school, Eric ran the first two years for Harper College in Palatine, Illinois. There, Eric was a two time All-American in Cross Country and won three national championships in track, the 1500M, 5000M and the 4x800M Relay. Eric then transferred to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he was a top 5 scorer for the cross country team along with competing in the Big Ten and Midwest Regional Championships. Eric is now training for multiple marathons and is on the path to becoming a full-time professional athlete.
