Eric

Yes, I'm one of the few good ones out there:)

About Me

I am employed full-time as a Public Health Education Specialist working in Health Education and Health Promotion. Basically, if there's a health issue known to mankind, I've gotta be up on it. On top of that, I work part-time at Harris Teeter (a grocery store) as an accounting office assistant on the weekends....and now I'm in grad school working on my masters degree.I'm sometimes serious, sometimes comic relief. Overall, I'm a caring and compassionate guy who enjoys life, being around people, and likes to have fun!:)

My Interests

Cooking, shopping (believe it or not), going out, dining out, basketball, football, track and field (watching it and actually participating...when provoked on a challenge), travel, and being in/around the water...including swimming. I'm alsoself teaching myself to surf (slow process). Hopefully a few or two on my part-time job will be good teachers.

Music:

Most anything R&B and especially Smooth Jazz!! As long as it has a good rhythm, I'm happy.

Movies:

Favorite of all time: Love and Basketball

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Critical Hour and Trauma: Life in the ER (on TLC/Discovery Health), ER, 24, CSI ...to name a few. I'm a big fan of All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital (thank goodness for SoapNet).

Books:

Do the ones for my grad school classes count?!:)

Heroes:

My parents. Why? During those "early years," they put the fear of their personal wrath and God's if I acted the fool in public or made them look bad. I would definitely say it has made me a better person and kept me on the straight and narrow!:)
