Eric has a dynamic and motivating personality. It is energizing brainstorming ideas with Eric regarding our next venture. Eric is reliable and always ready to push up his sleeves and do whatever needs to be done. It has been a pleasure working with Eric and I am so proud of all we’ve accomplish with the team at Studio 120.

I couldn't have reamed of working with somebody better than Eric. He was my mentor during my time at Studio 120, which was short, but thanks to him I learned how to handle clients, establish relationships in the company and sell ideas to others. His energy and will power motivates those who sorround him, making him an innate leader. Any company would be lucky to have Eric on their team.
