Eric is the original author and current maintainer of the CEDET project and maintainer of these web pages.

Eric grew up in the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts amongst the local farms. He then graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with a degree in Computer Science. While there, he first started hacking Emacs, and released Emacs Talk in the early 90s.

These days, Eric works as a software engineer on MATLAB Handle Graphics at The MathWorks where, in spare moments, he maintains matlab.el, a major mode for writing and debugging Matlab M files. He also managed to create a silly volume visualization tool, sliceomatic. The MATLAB Central homepage for Eric proclaims his loyalties.

In those other spare moments, he hacks code in the CEDET Emacs project.

For fun in the Analog World, Eric is captain of Team Tormentum. A group of folk who builds Catapults for Pumpkin Throwing contests. Eric appeared on the American History Channel on a show called Modern Marvels on this topic. Read more of the same on Eric's Catapult Bio page.
