For the last several years, all of you have known me as a creative & funny guy. He's goofy guy at the party. I can make you laugh about the stupidist stuff. But that is just a part of me, but here's the thing....

That is ONLY a part of me. There is another side. His name is Erik as well. He's also fun, but not as crazy. He also cares about his community but more about the people than the parties. He can make you laugh, but he might be joking about something other than sex or drugs.

I feel like Erik hasn't had a chance to meet you all as much as I'd like him to. In moving to a place where I existed as the man with the answers, I let go of a lot of who I have been for my 33 years on this earth, and the funny thing is, there are a lot of things that I never thought I'd want back in my life and I am finding out that I not only want them, but I truly need them.

I enjoy my serious, more intimate side, and find that the people who last in my life know and enjoy that side of me as well...and quite frankly some of those people have been missing him lately. I have too.

So here is my invitation to all of you people who I care about so much. Meet the other me, the one you've spoken to one on one. Erik is always available when you want to travle & play golf, scub dive or jump out of a plane at 10,000 feet, but I'd love to connect with you all as a person instead of just as a character.
