A poet at heart — and by mind, a meticulous technician. His work lives in the space between those two worlds.

In the late 1960s, Eric's creative voice found expression through songwriting, poetry, and experimental writing. His compositions carried the emotional clarity of the era’s golden melodies while retaining a thoughtful, carefully constructed structure beneath the surface. This balance was never accidental; it reflected the dual nature of the man himself.

Among his most notable works is “Anna Maria,” with lyrics by Charles Lafleur and music composed by himself. Performed live on the radio, the song received widespread acclaim and, for a moment, caught the attention of American jazz musician Count Basie, a world renouned artist of the time — a quiet testament to its resonance and craft. The song remains a snapshot of an era, where sincerity, melody, and restraint spoke louder than spectacle.

Other works, including “Time,” along with a body of poetry and creative writing, reveal a consistent throughline: a fascination with meaning, memory, and the passage between moments. Even as his professional life led into drafting and complex technical design (fields demanding precision and analytical rigor), his creative output never disappeared. Instead, it coexisted, shaped by the same disciplined thinking that informed his technical work.

This page serves as a small archive of that paradox:

A poet guided by feeling;
A scientist guided by structure; and
A man whose work forever remains — in every sense — True.
