I was a nuclear specialist in the military during the Gulf War. After that, I attended medical school and became a physician, working in the ER for a few years before moving into private practice. Later, I taught college courses and even did a little acting in South Florida. In 2017, I started my YouTube channel to vlog my family and our adventures. Over time, the channel plateaued, so I transformed it into a Prepping and Preparedness channel called Goshen Prepping. It’s a down-to-earth resource for the prepping community. While most channels focus on fear and disasters, we focus on solutions. Connect With Eric YouTube Channel
