Dabbled in Event construction/install, furniture design & construction, mold making and fabrication. After working in the set decoration department for 10+ years Eric decided to make the jump to Set Decorator and has been having a great time. “The way I work with my crew and handle myself professionally is a collaborator. Everyone is treated as an equal, which is what makes the job enjoyable. Drama free and notoriously unflappable. I welcome criticism and critique.”
