Eric Scheumann

Director of west coast relations

• Where were you born?

  Fort Wayne, Indiana (The Fort).If you are not familiar with this area of the country it is where the sun goes down in October and comes back in April! It is an interesting mix of rain, ice and snow in the winter. I was raised in the country on a dead end gravel road. It was a great place to grow up. I learned a lot about the outdoors and good work ethics. It was a much simpler life than Las Vegas but I wouldn’t want it any other way.

• What shoes are you wearing right now?

  Right now I am wearing Black skecher dress shoes. I am traveling and they are comfortable, functional and look nice.

• Movie quote mantra-

  In the movie backdraft there is a sign on the wall in the kitchen of the fire station that reads “150 years of tradition unimpeded by progress” I love this quote because in life it is easy to do things and not know why we do it other than "that is the way we always have done it. I thrive on living outside the box where creative thinking is respected.

• Who is the bravest person you know and why?

  I would have to say the men and women who serve our country. These people put their lives on the line for our freedom each day. There is no better form of bravery in my opinion!
