Getting into video games as a kid he discovered that he was building a lot of skills, joining teams, and creating communities — all things that he didn’t have in real life. As he grew up he learned to take that same passion and skill set and apply it to other areas of his life. In his new book "Leveling Up" Eric uses video games as a lens to view personal growth and achievement in a way that anyone can understand.
