ABOUT ERIC
Hi, I’m Eric. A freelance environmental writer and environmental advocate.
I started out post environmental science bachelors degree working in environmental consulting. I truly enjoyed my job as a project manager, but I wanted to experience living and working in another country.
I moved to Thailand with the intention of staying for 6 months and ended up staying for 3 years teaching high school science. I fell in love with the constant new adventures, culture, and people.
Since then I have been following my passion by working at a variety of human development and environmental non-profit organizations.
I have worked hard to develop my writing skills to become more effective at reaching audiences to say: “THE ENVIRONMENT IS IMPORTANT, WE NEED TO PROTECT IT!”
Wondering why I’m different from other writers?
I give your web content, articles, and blogs a voice that is inspired by a personal passion for the environment.
I research every topic until it’s completely understood and never deliver boring content that fails to engage your readers.
I keep the “big picture” in mind.
