Eric has owned and operated three marketing and creative service advertsing and design businesses starting with Left Coast Group in San Francisco, Samuelson Creative in La Quinta, and currently One Mind Communications. He founded One Mind Communications last year, which is the evolution of the two businesses that came before it into a socially conscious approach that can also deliver more in terms of marketing strategy and business development, as well as great creative and design work. Current and recent clients include Professional Club Placement Services, Professional Club Marketing Association, Centers for Spiritual Living, Gary Kott's Creative Warehouse, Global Truth Network, Roberts Consulting Group, Tour de Palm Springs, Total Meeting Solutions, and Turnkey Hospitality Group.

Eric's experience in the private club industry goes back to his childhood as he grew up in the New York Metropolitan area as a member at Winged Foot Golf Club and the Sea Pines Club in Hilton Head, South Carolina where the family has vacationed since the late 1960's. He had a fairly successful run as a junior golfer and went on to play in the ACC on the University of Virginia Golf Team where he graduated with a BA in English and Creative Writing.  So it's no accident he's a great fit for the Club Mark team.
