My name is Eric and I have been working as a talent manager for children in film, television, and commercials for more than 17 years. Although I lived in Los Angeles for 10 years, I have spent the last 16 years residing in Wilmington, North Carolina. Writing has always been a hobby for me. When I was ten years old, I had completed a 120 page detective story. During my teenage years, a few of my short stories had been published in various comic books. Growing up, my life revolved around making movies with my best friends VHS cam-corder. When COVID hit, our industry was decimated and shortly after it began, I decided to pursue my passion for writing professionally, By this time, I had already written three screenplays, and had been working hard researching for a forth. What began 20 years earlier, in 2021 I had completed my fourth script, "Of Saints and Salamanders". A few months later, I had professionally rewritten one of my earlier stories, "Bernieke Fitts". I submitted both of them in various competitions throughout 2022, and the awards and accolades they have received, have exceeded my expectations. When I am not working or writing, I can be found either playing with my dogs Chuck and Milo, or working on my hobby of Matchbox car and antique toy collecting.

I am currently seeking literary representation and very interested in selling my first two completed screenplays.
