On February 6, 2004, Eric, a former professional & Olympic ice hockey player & expert snowboarder, set off for the top of 12,000-foot Mammoth Mountain in California’s vast Sierra Nevada mountain range. Wearing only a long sleeve shirt, a thin wool hat, shells of his snowboarding pants & a light-weight jacket - with only four pieces of gum for food - he soon found himself chest-high in snow, plunging into the wilderness.
By nightfall he knew he was in a fight for his life. Surviving eight days in sub-freezing temperatures, he would earn the name, ‘The Miracle Man’ by stunned National Black Hawk chopper rescuers. His survival is that of adversity, change, ingenuity, perseverance, spiritual restoration & ultimate triumph.
Eric resides in Los Angeles, CA with his wife Hope, sons Nicholas & Zachariah & their Teacup Maltese Cherry ~ Snowball. Eric’s sights are on God, raising his family, work, volunteering, the desire to inspire & reshape the nation, sharing his story along with returning to the Olympics striving for gold becoming the first person in history to participate in the Winter Olympics & Winter Paralympics.
