But cheering on the Cubs… not so much (also, now you know he's not a bandwagon fan).In all reality, growing up on the state line and playing sports in Illinois while going to school in rural Wisconsin taught him a lot at an early age about the different walks of life.Eric was always an extremely outgoing, emotional, and friendly kid — these characteristics really were the basis of learning to connect with people from different backgrounds, and encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone to create shared experiences and extend new bridges to curate new friendships.He was also a strong student, took several AP classes, but also managed to procure two underage drinking tickets at the age of 15. It’s not fun having an even earlier curfew your senior year than your freshman, but that’s what happens when you break trust.Er
