He has worked for, advised, and coach organizations such as Eventbrite, SilkRoll, Human Movement Management, Queue Technology, Vound, RedCap, Cooper Wynn Events, and Hedeker Wealth Management. While at Eventbrite, Eric quickly rose to the top, leading in the highest percentage of quota and new market expansion. He led the expansion of the "Obstacle and Fun Run Market" – which led him to bring in some of the largest clients in company history.

Eric believes we learn the most from the experiences in which we’ve undergone, designed or observed and it wasn’t from inside of a classroom. Eric founded Out Educated January 2016 to take education outside the box. He does this through immersive learning experiences by empowering people with the critical skills that traditional education failed to teach. Eric believes that learning is not about getting an answer right or wrong, it’s about momentum and forward progression.
