Eric grew up on the East End of Long Island. Beachfront homes have always been an inspiration to him, and he came to appreciate the full variety of styles along the south shore.
He graduated from the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, New York with a Bachelor of Architecture in 2006. Since then he has worked at notable East End design and architectural firms. His interest in the ecology of the East End, and in methods to improve sustainability in building, is featured across many of his projects.
On becoming licensed, he opened Peterson Architectural, a practice focused on designing homes that reflect his love for the East End.
