Say hello to Eric, who from this point on, will refer to himself in the third person in order to simplify the task of writing an “about me”. Born and raised in sunny Southern Utah, Eric considers Dixie – also known as St. George – his home. Not by choice, but circumstance.

Often misjudged as a nerd or geek, Eric prefers the latter because of the distinct difference between the two. While both can be considered knowledgeable concerning all things tech and inter-webby, geeks posses the natural ability to carry on a normal day to day conversation with random individuals on the street. Eric does that.

Eric’s interests lie in the social intricacies of the net which motivate him to make awesome things online. Some of those awesome “things” can be found here or on eric-taylor.com. Eric currently defends a desk – Nerf guns in hand – at his office at Tech Plus Two, LLC. (Utah). He tries to maintain a portfolio of freelance work on Eric-Taylor.com, if he can manage it.

NON THIRD PERSON “ABOUT ME”

I’ve got 20 years of trickiness and creativity under my belt. And… according to a questionnaire which I took while sitting in a class I didn’t belong in, I have a 75% social desirability. Maybe I should focus my educational aspirations on a psych major so I can sit around all day and answer true / false tests to find out how desirable I am?

What’s there to say? Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Literally. I’m that back country hiker who didn’t bother to heed the warning signs that read Park Closed: Hungry Wild Ass-Bears Seen Mauling Hikers. I went ahead and ignored the signs, ran into a beastly bear, fell into a Batman lair-like cave as I tried to outrun the monster, and got myself wedged between hell and a giant boulder. So I have a little extra baggage I have to carry around. The emotional kind. Who doesn’t have any of that? The question is where’s the lost & found when you need it?

I want to meet someone to pick the bones out of my fish. I hate getting pricked by those dang things during dinner. I also want to meet someone who can tell the difference between Haribo and Black Forest gummi bears based on taste alone. They’re not the same dangit!

Sometimes what you’re looking for is staring right back at you.

Smile.
