I’m Eric and I’m the person who started Skid Row in my basement garage way back in 1999. I’ve been a car nut since I was born and eventually earned a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at SUNY Buffalo. I’m the guy who designs all Skid Row products and who answers your technical and install questions. Unfortunately, I also get do all the boring business management stuff that you don’t think about when you decide to start a business. I love being out in the shop working on anything with four wheels. I enjoy doing repair, restoration, and customization work on all sorts of rides. Over the years I’ve worked on many classics from MG, Porsche, VW, Ford, Chrysler, and GM including Corvettes, Thunderbirds, and a wide variety of Jeep’s from 1947 through today.

When I’m not here at our shop you might find me wandering around an automotive swap meet, a junkyard, or even a car show. As you’d expect, I’ve driven Jeeps on trails all over our beautiful country including trails in Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado, And Utah.
Of course, I do non-car related stuff, too. While I wouldn’t call myself an “outdoorsman”, I do go mountain biking or kayaking when I can and have done a lot of hiking and camping over the years. In addition, there have always been lots of furry creatures in my life, especially cats...which is one of the reasons we’ve got two office cats, OC and Sadie.

My daily driver is currently a 2018 Jeep JLU Rubicon in Firecracker Red, with a manual transmission, of course!
