About Eric R. Cummings
Born Nov. 5 1977, Eric was raised in a gaming family that would play video games together. Everyone in his immediate family worked at Casinos over the years. At the tender age of 4, Eric had his first taste of competitive gaming when he continuously defeated his 9 year old brother on the original home version of Pong! Since then, Eric has been collecting video games, systems and related items to amass over 1000 games and 20 different systems.
An avid reader of Electronic Gaming Monthly - a gaming publication started by U.S. National Video Game team member Steve Harris - Eric stumbled across an article about competitive gaming and Twin Galaxies in 2007. Shortly after, he set his first World Record in gaming, a new Fastest Completion time of Castlevania for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Eric now holds over 40 World Records in gaming for highest score, fastest completions and fastest knockouts.
