Erik grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, where he learned to bleed black 'n gold. He is a lifelong sports fan in general, and an avid fan of Pittsburgh sports in particular. Regardless of record, he will always love the Pirates, Steelers, Penguins, and Penn State football. He loves college sports in general and follows many schools in football, basketball, and baseball. The proud tradition of Western Pennsylvania football is also an area of interest to Erik.

Most Memorable Game Attended

The comeback began with an interception by Mike Logan as the Browns were driving towards putting the game out of reach.
