About me
Who is Eric Scot English?
Philosopher? Theologian? Poet? Writer? Ninja? Regardless of which attribute you choose, simply picking one does not capture his many aspects. Eric’s passion for just about everything makes him a modern-day polymath.
Eric brings passion and competence to all of his pursuits. His goal? To make humanity better. Why? Because he is a follower of Jesus, and it is what Jesus commands his followers to do.
