About Me

Hi, I’m Eric, an LA-based technologist and entrepreneur.  I’m passionate about technology, health and fitness, love animals, enjoy traveling and good food, and embrace life-long learning!  I originally created this personal website and blog back in 2004 to start sharing some of my musings and writings on technology, philosophy and personal development.  

Over the past decade my interests have expanded into many other areas – health & fitness, sensor technology, the Quantified Self movement, entrepreneurship, and continually exploring ways to push through boundaries – in the process I’ve been fortunate to have been able to experience, and build some pretty amazing things – interesting open source projects, helping build and launch successful companies, and continue to have my eyes and ears open for the next thing on the horizon.

Blog Posts – Original Content

I started blogging in 2004, with most content featured below authored over the course of 10 years. While I’m more active on social media now, I still plan to share rare, high-quality articles here that might not be directly shared on my social channels.
