CURRENT MISSION

To become a turkey feather waving shaman and be a good friend

ABOUT ME

My name is Eric. I like to share. I am a singer, guitarist, and writer. My new album is called I'm Goin' Down, about drowning in sludge, swimmin through a black swamp n climbing out of an alligator–that sorta thing. I just shot a new short film with over 60 people in my community called Vampire Blues and it sold out at our local county theater. YIKES! Also have been putting on theater and music performances of books with a local troupe (The Raven, On The Road, etc). I'm a leo, and I try to see the best in everyone.

On a quest for centeredness, adventures and intimate conversation. I wanna sing, dance, love, burst, and eat regional food. If you have a story i want to hear it, and if you are traveling through Doylestown and want to have coffee let me know.

I also love love love mythology, astrology, nutrition (well most of the time), the wild, natural healing arts and shamanism, craziness (not putting babies in danger, just fun!) and definitely weightlifting. My chinese zodiac is rooster (what a surprise), chinese element is metal.

Love walking, raw food when it ain't too cold, partying, etc. I have lived in Philly, Bucks county, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oregon, vermont, state college, and pittsburgh. Grew up in a big family. I practice zen, read a lot, and organize big creative events in my town and beyond.

Generally my mom raised me to be a good, kind and respectful person. I feel very gracious for anyone letting me stay at their house. I'm definitely not a sit around on the sofa and watch tv type of person. When I arrive in a town or city I am down for stuff that makes the place cool n unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a native american reserve in the hot desert east of California, my friends and I swam in a freezing 100 foot waterfall with treefrogs.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are feeling needy, give. When you give strangers and enemies gifts they let down their guard. I want to learn Reiki, shamanism, how to howl correctly like Little Richard, and primitive man skills like chopping wood and how to skin a dragon.
