Master Eric, also recorded as Master Eric of Indy, held the Mr. Great Lakes Olympus Leather 2008 title before becoming International Mr. Olympus Leather 2009. His international title placed him alongside International Ms. Olympus Leather 2009 Mistress Simone, with a surviving photograph preserving the pair’s place in Olympus Leather history.

Eric continued his involvement after his international title year. On August 14, 2010, he returned as a judge for International Mr. and Ms. Olympus Leather at the Hilton LAX in Los Angeles. Serving alongside Mistress Simone and a panel headed by Dr. Lawrence Burden, he helped select the next international titleholders, Utah Rox and Christiana.

His progression from regional titleholder to international winner and returning judge connects Great Lakes Olympus Leather history with the wider organization’s continuing tradition of titleholder participation.
