Eric Horstman is the founder of the Flyin’ to the Hoop High School Basketball Invitational in Dayton, Ohio. The inaugural year for the event was 2003. The event is currently ranked as the #2 Basketball Showcase for high school basketball nationwide per CBS Sports / MaxPreps. 20,000+ fans, college coaches and media attend the event each year which annually pumps over $1.9M into the local Dayton economy. 87 alumni of the event have been drafted into the NBA (or NFL).

In March of 2020, the first TOP GUN Showcase was held at Vandalia Butler HS. This event is a sister event of the nationally ranked Flyin’ to the Hoop Invitational that involves national powerhouse prep teams at the high school level in a 2-day showcase of games for the public.

In 2002, Eric founded Sports Image®. a sports marketing company targeting school athletic departments and other grassroots organizations across the country to help them acquire new equipment for free and much-needed revenue for their programs. Currently, Sports Image® has helped by donating over $16M in equipment and $2,500,000 in revenue to schools in states nationwide.
