After attending St. John Bosco High School, Eric attended to the University of California at Los Angeles. He also served in the United States Marine Corps.

Eric has worked with youth programs writing grants, providing leadership, and creating character development curriculums. He regularly volunteers for numerous programs such as the United Peace Officers Against Crime Summer camps, 999 for Kids, and food giveaways.
