He lives in Los Angeles and writes with the award winning Burglars of Hamm, a theatre company that has been called “Los Angeles’ goofiest social satirists” (LA Times) and “Maybe the closest thing LA has to the Pythons.” (Backstage West). He's a husband, dad, writer, actor, director, visual artist, teacher, and now, for the first time... a radio producer.

Then last Fall, Eric went to Cape Cod for the Transom Story Workshop and is now chomping at the bit to make more radio. Genre KCRW Comment by thetexturedlife Beautifully intimate. I love this.
