Eric is a very proud January 2008 Magna Cum Laude graduate of Quinnipiac University’s International Business program, minoring in European Union Business Studies. Immediately after completing his degree requirements, Eric and his classmate Nathan Smith went directly into developing a publishable international research paper, titled “Emotional Intelligence and its Relationship with Marketing Ethics: An Exploratory Study Across Three Countries“, and presented it in late October the same year at the Academy of International Business South East conference.

Eric worked full time through his undergraduate program at AT&T Global Services; regularly working with people from nearly every region in the world, and has recently acheived six-sigma green belt certification.

Understanding that the discipline of International Business extends well beyond traditional business formulae and methods, encompasing a practical sensitivity toward geo-politics and cultural values, Eric has also attended multiple conferences, including several at the United Nations.

Interested in continuing on to more advanced degrees, Eric uses this blog to keep his knowledge fresh, and to teach wherever possible.
