He was born July 04, 1952 in Fort Atkins, Wisconsin to Warner Paul and Barbara Jane (U'ren)Schweitzer.

Eric was a long time resident of Wisconsin. As a child his family moved several times throughout the state, but he always considered Ashland, Wisconsin his home. He graduated high school from Ashland, in 1970. Eric then attended college at the University of Wisconsin Madison for a short time. Then Eric moved to Richland Center Wisconsin where he was an active Volunteer Fire Fighter for the county as well as an over the road truck driver, for Mercury Industries. Eric met his wife Carol Jean Bethke, who he married February 14, 1980. Eric and Carol had 4 children. Eric had a passion for truck driving, and in July of 1992, he started his journey with Wal-Mart Transportation. In 1998, Wal-Mart gave Eric the opportunity to transfer. He excepted the position and moved his family to Clinton, Missouri. He was proud of his job and worked for Wal-Mart Transportation for 20 plus years but with everything that Eric did his greatest achievement was his family!
