Eric was well known for being a tall (6’6”), handsome and strong man who literally stood out in a crowd. He was an avid softball player, and was known for hitting bombs out of the park! He also was a huge fan of baseball and played during his year at St. Cloud State. Eric was very excited his son started playing baseball. He looked forward to starting his coaching journey and encouraging Tobias in a sport they both loved. Eric was also known for his love of pepperoni pizza and could take down a box on his own.
