 Eric is a computer nerd, sci-fi and fantasy geek, father and husband.

He has always been interested in creative hobbies, and throughout his life has studied and practiced music, writing, painting, digital art, miniature painting and modeling.

Eric started painting miniatures for use in Dungeons & Dragons. He quickly switched to painting just for the enjoyment of it. He has flirted with various miniature strategy games, but to this day has never successfully created an army or squad for one.

Eric had a few model building phases as a child, the last one being during middle school. The advent of the internet and YouTube eventually rekindled his interest by showing him what could be accomplished. So in 2021, he picked up his first model kit in over 30 years.
