Detours #14: Eric Spence

In this episode, I sit down with my buddy Eric Spence. Eric grew up a military kid bouncing around the south as his parent's stations changed and they eventually split up. Eric attended private schools for the majority of his education. When Eric graduated high school he was living with his dad who was stationed in England. Being on a student visa, he only had two options: go to school or take the military route. He chose the military route and wound up on the intelligence side of the Air Force. When his time in the service ended, Eric was thrown into the real world with the rest of us as a mid 20s with little job experience trying to find his way. He found a few different jobs to make ends meet. Worked in entertainment and sales. He eventually started his own clothing line "Trunk Monkey Apparel" with badass designs and concepts based on some of his military experience.
