Eric is a master of silliness, creator of wildly nonsensical situations, and a dad who’s always making up goofy stories to make his daughter laugh. One of those stories grew arms, legs, and a whole lot of ridiculousness—eventually becoming his debut children’s book, This Book Is Ridiculous.

When he’s not dreaming up absurd adventures, Eric enjoys watching movies, spending time with his family, and caring for his not-so-typical pets. Forget cats and dogs—his home is filled with frogs, lizards, fish, and a turtle. Who knows? One of them might just scurry, hop, or swim their way into a future book.
