Manager at my family company Illinois
Forge, Inc. in Rock Falls.

LE: As a Production Manager
I oversee our day shift. I see that our
product is organized, processed and flawless in every regard
before it
is shipped to our customers.
ES:
What time do you wake up &
what's the first thing you do?
LE: I wake up a little after
6:00 a.m. and immediately turn my stereo
on. Preferably something to wake me up and get me going.
ES:
What do you do in your spare
time?
LE:
I work on my house alot, and I am also the head coach
for the
Sterling Park District XC team. I also enjoy spending as
much time as I can with my dog "Patience".
ES:
What's in your cd player right
now?
LE: The new Outkast. A group
by the name MVP. The new Vertical
Horizon and of course the best band in the world - U2 (always
one of their Cd's in rotation)
ES:
What's your favorite website
and why? (Eric-Sharp.com is not electable)
LE: www.u2.com
because it shows me everything & anything I need to
know about the band.
ES:
List a few of your short term
goals. (Travel, career, personal, etc.)

a must where it all started with my boys in O-town, and
become a professional air hocky champion.
ES:
If you could spend a day with anyone in the world (living),
who would it be and why?
LE: It would have to be
Bono (frontman U2). Not only has his music inspired me
countless times but also his humanitarian and political
efforts in making this world a better place. He truly
is an inspiration.
ES: Favorite
movies of all time?
LE: I quote lines from
the movie "Top Gun" almost every day, and also
"Pulp Fiction". Although I have many favorites
in this category.
ES: If
you were given the power to either fly (45 mph max), or
become invisible for a designated duration of 30 minutes
every day, which one would you choose & why?

so i could fly to all the U2 concerts around the world!
Also to see my boys in O-town whenever necessary.
ES:
Have you ever been arrested?
If so, what for?
LE: Yes, ask Ethan
Pitsch and Tyler Andersen.
ES: What's
your most favorite memory of Eric?
LE: Well, If I submitted
a drunk memory it just wouldn't do the survey and it's
readers any justice - there are just too many to choose
from. My most sobering favorite moment with Eric has to
be when I picked him up from the University of Platteville
after he chose not to continue his education there and
to begin at Full Sail. It was a real crucial time in his
life where he was making a big decision and I was glad
to be there for him as I will always..
