About Eric
The house Eric lives in is called "The
Turtle House" (see the turtle on the 2nd floor balcony
below).
They have had a couple of parties (including a Halloween
one, pictured below, where Eric was a suitcase) which have
been big hits at Davis.
They have also done a few home improvement projects,
including a picket fence and a chicken coop.
He also generally had more
fun this year without crew taking up all his time.
He danced in a play on Angel Island...
...biked from Davis to the
beach (over 100 miles) and was spotted leaping off sand
banks near Sea Ranch.
Eric worked at Ekso Bionics this summer, a startup in Richmond making bionic legs for paraplegics.
While there, Eric redesigned the hip width adjustment mechanism, which turned out to be a
great success and is now in the production version.
He returned to the Burning
Man festival this summer with four friends and they
made quite the caravan.
They brought "The Trike", along with 6 other human-powered
vehicles.
The most exciting Burning Man vehicle,
though,
was Eric's ingenious new Land Rower.
(Watch the video here.)
together a bike, a rowing machine, and a boat.
The resulting vehicle was much appreciated at Burning Man and gained a lot of attention.
after Fall finals he and a friend bought a 1992 diesel school bus in Idaho and drove it back.
He also has a whole fleet of bikes:
seven and counting!
...to a Mongolian wrestling outfit
purchased
for him by his loving sister.
