She Said Yes!
Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes
After six great years together Laura and I are now officially engaged. She is the greatest woman in the world and I am very lucky to have her. I mean, let’s be honest, I am probably (definitely) not the easiest guy to live with considering my wacky company ideas and my myriad of interests and pursuits but she is able to do it and do it well. *cliche warning* She is definitely the yin to my yang. She balances me out and keeps me focused on what is important which is, well, important (man, should have headed over to thesaurus.com for that one).
If it wasn’t for Laura’s unwavering support I may never have taken the leap to move to Chicago and join FeedBurner which turned out to be the catalyst for many great things that have happened since including TECH cocktail, DFJ Portage and meeting all of my great friends here in Chicago. She packed up and moved here with me right away because she knew what a great opportunity FeedBurner was. Who could ask for better in a partner?
Babe, here’s to many, many more great years together. I am very much looking forward to continuing the adventure and to seeing where life takes us.


Congrats Eric and Laura!

Congrats Eric! Now for the onslaught of advice! Ok, I can’t resist – wedding cakes are overrated… we didn’t have one, and nobody cared. Maybe the open bar had something to do with it…
