Summary

A lifelong fitness nut, Eric discovered CrossFit in 2008 after a running injury and high-cholesterol diagnosis had him wondering if age had finally caught up with him. Within six months of CrossFit, he was in the best shape of his life, and both problems were a thing of the past!

Eric is CEO of CrossFit Inc an serves on several boards related to health and welness. Previous to that he was CEO of Datalogix (a data marketing company) which was acquired by Oracle. During his time as CEO, Datalogix/Oracle grew to 2k+ employees and emerged as one of the country’s fastest-growing technology companies in Colorado. It was also named a top 100 company to work for by both Fortune and Outside Magazines.
