Personal Statement
My gifts are that I can understand people and their desires quickly and I have the ability to relate my knowledge into terms people
can understand. Regardless of age or status, I can help you get from point A to point B in a proactive, meaningful, and sensible
way. I usually see where people are headed long before they do. It's a wonderful asset as a coach and teacher (though it can be
annoying to family members).
I am a strong and honest coach and teacher who will be there with you while to help you overcome your challenges and become a
better and smarter you. It's all inside you. Make it happen.

Brother of Body and Mind Solution's Founder, Cristin, Coach Eric began swimming at the ripe old age of 3 months. Around
age 10, he found the focus and independence necessary to become a competitive swimmer spoke volumes to him. Within
months he posted qualifying times for the fast races on the West Coast. His talent in freestyle led him to anchor several high
school and collegiate team championships. In 2003, he was given a broken and much-too-large Cervelo and competed in his
first triathlon. He placed in the top 10 overall and placed 2nd in his age group. In 2004, he chose to focus on the bike
portion of the triathlon and ended up in Maine after riding 4,500+ miles from Washington State. Eric's heart and ability for
patience are huge which makes him a great target of appeal for children.
