He has directed the short plays FISH SCHTICKS (2014) and PROPERTY RIGHTS (2015) for GVT’s New Voices Play Festival. For two years he appeared as Duncan Mall in the Ronceverte amphitheater outdoor drama Riders of the Flood (2005-2006). In 2007 he co-directed the sequel to Riders… Big Dreams, Restless Spirit.

For the past eight years he has served as the script coordinator for the writers’ camp portion of Summer Scholars Onstage, an annual three week camp for gifted and talented junior high and high school students, at Mississippi State University. A former camper himself, Eric enjoys returning each year to help the writers campers craft a three act musical comedy in the space of a week. It’s one of the more stressful and enjoyable weeks of his year and has produced some of his favorite theatre experiences.

A former president of West Virginia Writers, Inc., he currently serves as the organization’s webmaster and as the producer and host of the West Virginia Writers Podcast.

In 2014, Eric was invited to give a TEDx talk for the TEDx Lewisburg event. His talk “Awaiting My Nobel Peace Prize” can be found on YouTube. While it has the feel of a tongue in cheek speech, he truly believes the world would be a better place if people would follow the simple advice he dispenses within.

Eric’s first official collection of short stories is called A Consternation of Monsters (named after the collective noun for monsters, which we all learned in the 4th grade). Contained within the collection are ten stories featuring monsters of various stripes, some of them human.

He and his wife live in Lewisburg along with an inadvisable number of dogs. ...more
