Podcasts as a guest!

Eric is active within many social cultures, however, as you’ll learn in this podcast, Eric is simply a human-being traversing through life just like the rest of us. If you were to list the ‘titles’ Eric would have (take a deep breath) you’d say he is a US Air Force Airman, Firefighter, City Police Officer, Gay, Divorced and Remarried, Husband, Dog Dad, and Entrepreneur.
