With over six years of experience in the production world, Eric has worked with New York Public Radio, MTV Networks, Vice Media, World Up, blacjac Productions, and many others, and is currently pursuing project management and production work on a freelance and long-term basis.
Eric has consistently played the part of the “get it done” guy. With projects ranging from short-term viral media campaigns to episodic network series delivery and large-scale event production, Eric has shown a great ability to manage many details concurrently and wear many hats. He has done so while working with budgets small and large, for major networks and artist collectives alike. His scrappy work attitude has allowed him to excel in the creative trenches, and his professionalism and ability to connect the dots have proved invaluable time and again.
