History: Eric has always been a big, strong boy. He played football in high school. He often stood up to kids who were bullies and protected the smaller kids. The only reason he got passing  grades in school was because the teachers passed him so he could play football.

After high school, Eric moved to Los Angels to make his career in the Hollywood movies. However, the only jobs he could find was providing security for the movie sets. Due to his size, he was often assigned to crowd control. With time he was given bigger and more stressful assignments. He became an armed guard. And soon enough became an armored car guard.

On the day of the outbreak, his armored car was taking their money bags to the bank.  The bank was filled with the infected. His partner entered the bank and quickly was overwhelmed. The driver panicked and ran out into the street where he too was overwhelmed. Eric climbed into the armored car and drove away. He went to the Army/Navy Surplus store.  He knew the store well. His company purchased their uniforms there and he often visited the store. At the store, he cleared it of the few infected inside. He stocked the armored car with as much supplies as he could. 

He lived for days in the armored car. However, it was using too much gas. He needed something, anything that used less gas but was still tough enough to go where he needed to go. He dumped the armored car and stole an SUV. He just found the school where the others are.
