We are most honored to have an exclusive interview with one of the most important figures in the art industry!
Asaf: Good morning, Eric. Where do I find you?
Eric: I work out of my home. So you’re always working when you work out of your home...
Asaf: Yes. Could you start telling us what makes you tick? Where’s your passion?
Eric: My passions are motorcycles and tennis. I ride a Husqvarna 701 Enduro, which is an on-offroad bike and I mainly ride in the dirt. I grew up racing motocross together with my two brothers. I played tennis in high school and college and rode motorcycles, so I didn’t have time to party. I was too busy playing tennis and riding. Later on I married and then my two daughters came along and I stopped riding and stopped playing tennis. In 2009 we divorced and the first two things that I did was start playing tennis and riding again.
Asaf: Second round
Eric: I’ve been riding with both of my brothers in the last few months, and it had brought us together.
Asaf: There’s so much adrenaline in sports, how do you get your kick from business?
