Our Next Meeting...
Growing up in Chehalis, Eric Chapman found himself wanting to spread his wings a little further away from the small town in Lewis County.
Eric will be our special guest at the July 18 meeting of the Rotary Club of Three Creeks -- our first meeting of the new Rotary year. Be sure to come welcome Eric, and to celebrate President Ryan's first meeting at the helm. He attended Washington State University (Go Cougs!) in Pullman, studying Recreation and Leisure Studies, hoping to organize tournaments and sports leagues for corporate employees at Nike. He landed an internship at Weyerhaeuser in Federal Way running its sports programs, leagues, tournaments and recreational facilities. This was a great lead into what working in the corporate world would be like. After graduating from WSU, Eric started working for adidas (correctly pronounced AH-dee-das) hoping to work into a role in corporate recreation. He started in shipping/receiving, moved to product testing, then quickly shifted to product development. Product testing gave him the opportunity to travel all over the country testing American football cleats with top athletes. Moving to development allowed him to travel all over the world. On top of countless trips to production facilities in Asia, in 2006 he and his family moved to adidas HQ in Herzogenaurach, Germany, where they lived for three years. This was the best experience for their family and would recommend anyone to live overseas if given the opportunity. Eric has had the opportunity to create the best product in the world for the best athletes in the world. He has worked with many categories and athletes within baseball, outdoor, basketball, and American football. Highlights would include products for Patrick Mahomes, Robert Griffin III, Damian Lillard, Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose and Candace Parker. Due to the experience of living overseas, he, his wife Virginia (Greater Clark County Rotarian) and two children have hosted 11 foreign exchange students from all over the world. He enjoys camping, traveling, woodworking, hockey, beer, guitars and playing music. |
