Eric has been involved in Olympic Weightlifting with the Hercules Weightlifting Club for over 15 years, first as an athlete and now as a new coach. Eric has benefited from the Hercules Weightlifting training program tremendously, developing him from the age of 13 at the local level, all the way to the international platform. Eric continues to lift and also attempts to pass on (through coaching) what he has learned over the years to the upcoming/future athletes of the Hercules Weightlifting Club.
