The quality that was inherent to anything built in the past like vintage autos and motos has been a driving force in Eric’s passion for what he does. In an attempt to pursue this passion he set out to the west coast to begin his formal training in San Diego California, and Phoenix Arizona to train and study at Universal Technical Institute.  After earning a degree in Automotive Technology with extended studies in UTI's Hot Rod U program, Eric headed back to the East coast, working for a successful Custom and Restoration Shop. 

 

Studying for an additional Bachelor’s degree in Business from Rochester Institute of Technology, Eric obtained a mix of technical know-how and administrative theory. 

Eric has held various positions in the NYC metropolitan area as lead technician, repairing and tuning new, vintage and custom motorcycles at shops like Brooklyn Motor Works and SLNYC. Currently Eric holds a position as General Manager at NYC’s first Tesla Certified repair shop.

Eric's interest in the timeless design of classic cars, motorcycles, and the raw look of hot rod and rat rod styling continues to inspire the concepts and ideas apparent in past, present and future projects.
