A former professional basketball player turned award-winning speaker, Eric fuses elite athletic discipline, real-world business leadership, and lived experience to deliver sessions that create measurable impact. His high-energy, high-engagement keynotes shift mindsets, ignite resilience, and elevate performance at every level of an organization.

Why book Eric? Because your team deserves more than motivation. Eric brings clarity, challenge, and Championship DNA to the room — leaving your people thinking differently, acting decisively, and performing at a higher level.
