On May 15th, 1999, Eric James Lederman in Newton Wellesley Hospital, Massachusetts. I am the youngest of three children in my family. My brother Rob (21) is a senior at Worchester Polytechnic Institution and my sister Emma (20) is a sophomore at Salem State University. I come from a very close family and take much pride in that. I have lived in Walpole, Massachusetts my whole entire life and graduated from Walpole High School. Walpole is located the town over from Foxboro, where the Patriots stadium is. I love old music, football, and cats.
Around the age of five my great grandmother forced me to play the piano, little did I know at the time is that would launch my love for music. Music has always been something extremely important to me, weather its Wolfgang Mozart or Johnny Cash… I love it all. Music has been something I can relate to, the music and the lyrics really do speak to people and they help you through tough times. My father is a big music guy as well and I give him all my credit for knowing every song from 1950 to 2000, growing up people were astonished by my vast knowledge of music.
I speak German and have visited Germany for 4 weeks as a foreign exchange student in a town near Mainz. I have spoke German for around 5-6 years and enjoy speaking it with my Oma (grandmother). I have a big interest in my heritage and love looking into who my ancestors were. I have many books of my family tree that I have created going back to the early 1800s.
I was honored to take part in UNE history by playing for the schools first football team ever. In the 5th grade a started playing football and I have loved it ever since then.
