Aw, come on. When you first meet Eric, you think, he's a genius! After a while, you come to realize that he is merely a deep thinker, a passionate pacifist, at once filled with wild and amazing ideas, at the same time floating on an imaginary wave, sun on his face, drifting and watching the white clouds drift overhead...he's running around. He's curled up on a chair. He's creating a culinary delight out of whatever'sinthefridgeorpantry. He is showing off his latest invention, reading his latest poetry that grabs you by the collar and pulls you, flying through his mind, a speechless traveler, stunned by his wordplay and depth of thought. You come out on the other end, breathless, look at his deceptively calm face with the Mona Lisa smile, and say, oh, he *is* a genius! There is only one Eric.

My TestimonialsAugust 1, 2006
My first testimonial and it's for this genius of a man. I'm in awe of him and all he does more than I like to admit (to myself, others, but mainly him). It's already been said that he can do anything he sets his mind to, and I'll just second that here. I feel honored (and a little giddy) to have met him, call him friend, have the chance to conspire with him, and hope to build upon all this in the years to come. I adore you, Eric!

Eric is a genius. No, he's a SUPER Genius. Fascinating, brilliant, creative, fun. He can do anything he sets his mind to, and what a unique mind it is! I consider myself lucky in the extreme to have known him and been his friend for as long as I have. Here's to another 20 years in friendship! Hell, let's triple that!

about me
I'm an engineer by training who got laid astray into arts and philosophy. Oh no! :) I'm now the WI Regional Contact for Burning Man, coordinator of 150 midwestern artists in Snowflake Village out there in the desert, a professional firespinner with the Snowfire troupe, and a musician and sculptor and performance poet. I run an Experimental Arts center in Riverwest. We make an award winning television show with sketch comedy and coverage from 11 countries. (Sat and Sun nights, 11pm, channel 96) Studied Yoga, meditation, massage, and vegetarian cooking with the Ananda Marga.
I still do engineering consulting, mostly to science museums. I have my own house and car and vegetable garden. Like to relax, joke around, cook, and create things. <cr> I've had my 15 minutes of fame several times already, so I like my private life...private. .. <CR> A few articles that mention me: www.mkeonline.com/story.asp <cr> www.mkeonline.com/story.asp <cr> www.riverwestcurrents.org/2003/...0.html <cr> www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx <cr> www.riverwestcurrents.org/2002/...3.html <cr> And a few links: Firespinning: www.snowfirespinners.com <cr> Non-profit arts institute: www.clevian.com <cr> Television production samples: www.youtube.com/profile <cr> Wisconsin Regional Contact for Burning Man: regionals.burningman.com/us_wi.html <cr>

Burning Man was amazing..... how to describe it.... even if you have seen 1,000 videos and pictures, being there boggles the mind and beggars the imagination. In a whole week, I doubt if you could see 20% of all the amazing stuff there. Stuff you can't even imagine could really exist......

When I play chess, I'm always losing my queen. Some say it's because I put her right out into the action, Instead of keeping her in back behind a wall until it's safe to come out.... Liike that will make her feel important! But I say: She's the strongest piece! Let her come out and kick some ass! Sometimes I lose my queen three times in the same game Getting her back only through the machinations of some unlikely pawn..... And I miss her so much when she is gone. My... read more

in early fall, cool and crisp as an apple when you called and said "let's go see some poetry." You were already with him by then and we were trying to Just be Friends with some success, so I accepted, and said yes and we went down to the smoky bar. And as the poets spoke we drank, And the more they spoke the more we drank. Until pretty soon all those poems started to make sense to me, like we were still the same lovers who had said it all ... read more

In the Catalan, even the ugly girls are pretty; The pretty ones, beautiful The beautiful ones, luminous. All Europe knows this, but What is the secret? Is it the blood of the Catalan kings, which Touches still their hair with red and Eyes of smouldering green? Or is it just– That a life spent among such beauty Surrounded always by friends and love: The caring of father and mother The forgiveness of the saints The grandeur of painting and poem Conve... read more
