Eric
is a new technician at our hospital who says he doesn't like
writing bios. He never knows what to say about himself when
writing them, so Mary will add some interesting facts about
Eric! Eric is originally from Redondo Beach. He moved to Alaska
with his family when he was younger and lived there for 5 years.
He has a variety of work experience, which includes working
at an Alaskan rapture rehabilitation center and a seafood-processing
center. He is also skilled in construction and plumbing and
he says that he can fix pretty much anything! He was previously
a drummer in a band called "Downspell" that you can
see at many local venues. Eric's a very interesting and friendly
guy - he just doesn't like to brag about himself. Sorry, Eric
I had to add some info about you - but he will not let us take
his picture.
