Inspired at an early age by the Muppets and Saturday Night Live, Eric became a co-founding member of PSP to bring that love of improv and satire locally to western MA.  He accidentally landed on puppetry professionally for almost a decade, but his true talents and passion are mostly in writing and performance of sketch comedy with a purpose.  Influences include The Second City, Kids in the Hall, his alma mata Sleeveless theater, his current co-troupe members, and of course SNL...and there's still a bit of Jim Henson's work in his heart.
