Eric Cotten- He/Him. Consumed with the desire to help others I began my professional life as a critical nurse (1978- 2016). That career was parleyed into building a successful real estate business (1988-2016) focused on providing affordable housing in Baltimore.
Thanks to the real estate business, I came in contact with the production company for the HBO show THE WIRE (2002- 2008) and became part of their location team. The association with these positive encouraging creative people revived my long dormant creative writing side.
