Eric did not begin playing Lacrosse until he was introduced to it in the 8th Grade in Friendswood. At Friendswood High School he excelled in football and lacrosse. He had an outstanding career playing close defense for Steve Kirk and subsequently Mike Staub in Friendswood. Once he graduated high school he continued his academic and lacrosse career at Elmhurst. At Elmhurst he continued to excel on the field and in the classroom. Eric recently graduated and he is back in the Houston area kicking off his career and beginning to coach. This season he will be coaching defense at Pearland with Coach Mike Staub. This is the first interview I have done with a local player. There is some terrific perspective from a local Houston-area player who went on to be successful at the next level.
