From the hills of Shinnston, West Virginia; Eric began his music by pounding on the piano at the young age of six. Music got into him and he was hooked! After a while he moved onto bass, drums, guitar and even glockenspiels! His musical mentors along the way include his Dad and Nick Ours.

Brian and Josh were playing at a youth camp in WV and saw a young scrawny guy with a strat and a crate ripping of sweet child of mine licks to the praise song "One Name". It was destined that he would be in the band. Eric joined DecembeRadio in 2004. You will mainly find Eric playing guitar and singing with DecembeRadio. When not on the road you can find Eric in the woods or by a stream digesting life.
