With his parents’ moves, Eric lived on both coasts during pre-college years and even spent a year in college in Leysin, Switzerland. Eric ultimately landed in Texas, graduating from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Environmental Design in 1974 and a Masters of Architecture in 1977. Shortly after graduation, he started his professional career in Dallas-Ft.

On August 20, 1976 Eric married Margaret Ann Rothrock. They raised three daughters and for the past nine years, enjoyed a succession of grandkids ranging from 1 to 9 years old. Eric enjoyed taking his daughters and their families boating, on beach vacations and sometimes, fishing. He looked forward to showing visiting relatives the latest among his varied and sometimes storied commercial building projects. As an American Institute of Architects board- and LEED (green building)-certified architect, Eric’s projects ranged from a major league stadium (outside of Texas) to renovating a top-tier art museum and even designing a whiskey distillery.
