From an early age, Eric wanted to be a writer. Although he was born in California and raised in Oregon, his more enduring memories start in Europe where his parents took Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. Life was an adventure, full of exotic cultures and peoples.
Back in the States, he went through junior high and high school. He loved soccer, basketball, chess...oh, yes, and girls. It took a few years to learn how to talk to them, but they interested him from a distance. After high school, he traveled in eastern Europe and China. He returned to my parents’ crumbling marriage, then moved to LA and began college.
During his junior year, a childhood friend showed up as a freshman. Within months she and he were married, and they are now in their twentienth year, with two daughters. They are not perfect, but they refuse to stop fighting for their family...and for their faith in Jesus, who is bigger than any self-centeredness.
