Previous to founding FLOWSPARK, Eric worked as a digital producer for the highly-rated PBS television show NATURE.

Other roles have included Scientific American‘s first full-time video producer and audio-video editor for the journal Nature. This makes him one of the few people to have worked across both “Nature” brands.
