In 2013, he took the leap and, alongside Pete Hess started High Performance Movement. While typically wearing many hats, Eric can most often be found leading sales, sponsorship, and finance efforts for High Performance Movement. He is also the ‘office runner', with 6 marathons under his belt and a PR of 2:39.53 at the Boston Marathon.
