Eric's Bio

Born and raised in Chula Vista, CA., Eric played Little League baseball from the age of 5 to 15 at Park View Little League, the home of the 2009 Little League World Series Champions. He attended Eastlake High School, same high school as 1999 MLB Draft pick, #1 overall, Adrian Gonzalez.

Naturally, he grew up supporting his local teams; Padres, Chargers and Aztecs. He graduated from San Diego State while studying abroad in Oxford University.

He hopes to show his bright insight and understanding of sport to those who are willing to listen, learn and give feedback.
