Eric has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for a multitude of projects around the world. I have had the opportunity and privilege to see some of these projects in Kenya. Not only is Eric a humanitarian, he is a leader and a hero. I aspire to one day have some of the qualities that he exudes.
Eric has spectacular qualities about him that make him an outstanding person. Eric's charisma is evident when the people around him become passionate and involved in his projects and work. He has care and compassion for those that he works with and mentors. He is both an idealist and a realist. This sound like it is contradictory, but it is a quality that I have seen in highly successful leaders. It is the ability to dream and envision a better world, a better society while still remaining grounded in what is possible. He has led many business people and more importantly young people on several different trips around the globe. Eric is a storyteller. He is a business man. He is a hero.
