about

eric was born in boston, ma and raised in martha's vineyard, ma. at age 8, he fell from a tree and suffered head trauma; as a result, his eyesight was negatively affected. he underwent years of optometric vision therapy, and had laser eye surgery (though it did not completely correct his vision issues, due to brain trauma being the main cause). as a child he wore glasses with corrective lenses. when he was 15 years old, his parents divorced; his father was granted sole custody of all three boys, and they moved to los angeles, ca.

eric was not a popular kid in school to begin with, and a move mid-way through high school proved even more difficult for him. he concentrated on computer technology, gaining a college degree in media production at UCLA. he jumped on with buzzfeed based out of los angeles, which specialized in producing entertainment videos on youtube, facebook, and their native website.

originally, eric preferred to be behind the camera--editing sound, editing video, and eventually producing. but after developing and producing one of the website's most popular video series (based on travel and food), it was inevitable that eric would gain a fan following. as such, the company began to encourage him to appear in videos, both in that series and otherwise. along with his own series, he appeared in videos sporadically including drunk single people review valentine's day gifts and people guess cheap vs. expensive steaks, among others. the videos he appeared in gained more popularity than others, and soon eric was well known throughout the buzzfeed fanbase as a media personality.

los angeles had served eric well, and in 2018 he'd been feeling a certain pull toward san francisco. he parted ways with buzzfeed on good terms, moving to san francisco and launching his own personal youtube channel. as of late, he has gained a considerable following (his recent milestone was one million subscribers in july 2020)--however, plenty of people still don't recognize him on the street... and he's totally okay with that. and, he's wearing contacts now!

at his best: eric knows he's doing what he is meant to do, and what he's good at. because of this, he has a level of bravado, but it comes with the territory. however, he doesn't hold this above anyone's head; rather, he does his best to help out fellow creators, or anyone that he can when given the opportunity. he is loyal almost to a fault. he is also his own biggest critic, always looking for anything he could be doing better. he is largely a nice person, though not as outgoing as most people would imagine him to be. still, not many things seem to faze him, at least when it comes to anyone else. he's naturally funny. in relationships, eric tends to take care of the other person more than himself, and worships the other person.

at his worst: being a very prideful person can sometimes make eric look arrogant. and though he doesn't mean to, it happens more often than he thinks. he tends to be picky about the things he can control, and sometimes a bit stubborn, but only when it comes to things he's already tried and failed. he's very hard on himself, more than he should be. he also tends to close off all social connections when things aren't going so well for him; it's easier for him to reset and start fresh when he's alone, or so he thinks. he beats himself up over past mistakes when he's feeling down, and sometimes reads into negative comments far too much. he falls in love far too easily, which results in his heart being broken more often than he lets on.
