Eric began his bodybuilding journey at six foot, 170lbs at the age of 21 in 2004. What originally began as a border-line destructive, unhealthy obsession, bodybuilding eventually transformed into a healthy life passion. Eric had fitness and athletic experience by the time he was bitten by the iron bug, yet nothing challenged him like bodybuilding. Fighting for every ounce of muscle, Eric continually strives to transform his physique into that of a champion natural bodybuilder and powerlifter.
