After college, Eric worked as a session guitarist during his tenure as a recording engineer and also recorded a gospel album for the Toledo, OH group The Queens of Harmony. Since then he has played in cover bands, and his longest running indie rock / jazz band New Machines. Eric changed careers and became a mental health counselor in 2000. Eric moved to Cincinnati, OH in 2001 and is seeking to play acoustic guitar gigs with covers ranging from classic country and folk, to rock, and his own original songs. Eric's instrumental acoustic guitar piece "Shielded" was recorded for New Machines on their second album '729 Tecumseh' and was used on the PBS TV series 'Roadtrip Nation' in 2009. Eric has recently began recording new acoustic instrumental songs and hopes to release them in the coming year.
