Bio
Kevin Chan
Working with Eric during my 3 years at Defy Media was one of the most rewarding professional opportunities I've had and a great way to have started my career. As a manager, Eric created the kind of environment that rewarded ambition. He always supported assertive actions while reassuring you that he had your back both on offense and defense so long as you had sound reasoning for why you believed something should happen. In 3 years, we broke down a lot of walls, made a lot of incredible programs happen, and had some great foodie conversations along the way. I owe a lot to Eric for helping to set me on a path that turned my lifelong passion of video games into a professional hallmark, something that I am just reaping the rewards of now and I know will have bigger personal impacts than I can imagine. I can say with complete confidence that whether you work for or with Eric, you're going to have a great experience. He pulls his share of the weight and operates with empathy, all while fostering a very positive environment. I can't wait till we end up working together again.
